M3:3238 — اندرین بودند کآواز صلا / مصطفی بشنید از سوی علا

This couplet sets the scene for a miraculous intervention. The Prophet Muhammad (referred to here by his honorific Mustafa) and his companions are in a moment of quiet anticipation or ordinary activity. Suddenly, a ṣalā (call to prayer) is heard, not from a human muezzin, but from alā (the high heavens or a sublime source). This immediate divine communication signals that something extraordinary is about to unfold, directly involving the Prophet and leading to a revelation of hidden danger and divine protection. It underscores Rumi's theme of divine providence and the subtle ways God intervenes in human affairs, often through seemingly mundane events or unexpected agents.
