In Jami's Haft Awrang, the story of Dhul-Nun al-Misri's encounter with a weeping maidservant in the Sanctuary of Mecca illustrates the concept of ishq-e haqiqi (exclusive, absolute love for the Divine). The maidservant's intense emotional and spiritual devotion, expressed through her weeping and clinging to the drapes of the Kaaba, serves as a powerful demonstration that true love for God is consuming and transcends worldly status. By witnessing her state of surrender, the renowned Sufi master Dhul-Nun receives a profound lesson in sincere devotion and self-annihilation (fana).
