That is all I am worth

Tomb of Attar

One day Attār ق was captured by a Mongol. As he was being dragged around, someone came along and offered the Mongol a thousand pieces of silver for Attār ق. Attār ق advised the Mongol not to accept because the price was not right.

The Mongol, heeding the words of Attār ق, refused to sell him. A while later, another man came by, offering a sack of straw for Attār ق. Attār ق told the Mongol, "Sell me now, for this is my price, and that is all I am worth."

Upon hearing this, the Mongol became enraged and cut of Attār's ق head (martyring him). And so Attār died teaching another lesson in selflessness to the seekers of Truth.
