Saadi's wisdom here highlights a profound sense of compassion and understanding. It teaches us that divine mercy is boundless and that even those who are considered wicked are in need of compassion. Saadi's timeless insights continue to offer valuable lessons on the importance of empathy and the inclusivity of mercy in our prayers and actions.
