18. Seeking Mediation Of Qur’an
Hajj Muham ad Hasan Eimani said:
Once there was some problem with my father, Ali Akbar Maghazi 's business. So many debts piled upon him and he was unable to repay them. During that time, the pious scholar, Hajj Shaykh Muhammad Jawad Bedabadi (mentioned in story I and 4) set out from Isfahan and since my Late father was very much devoted to him, he used to be our guest in Shiraz. When my respected father was informed that Aga Bedabadi has reached Abadan, he said his arrival in such difficult times was inopportune. When Aga Bedabadi reached Zarqan, he paid five tomans and rented a fast mount to reach Shiraz before noon and perform ritual Friday bath, as it was Friday and because he was very observant of recommended acts and Friday bath is highly recommended. Thus, he reached our place before noon and when he met my Late Father, he said: My coming here is not inappropriate. From today you and your family members start reciting Surah Anam between dawn and sunrise and when you come to the verse: '
وَرَبُّكَ الْغَنِيُّ ذُو الرَّحْمَةِ
"And your Lord is the Self-sufficient one, the Lord of mercy." (Surah al-Anam 6:133).
Recite this verse 202 times equal to the numerical value of the names of Muhammad and Ali. After that he went to the bathroom and performed the Friday Bath.
From that night we started the recitation according to the method taught by him. Within a couple of weeks prosperity returned to our house and every financial hardship was removed and we lived like that till the last moments of my father.
