Aga Sayyid Mahmud Attaran narrated:

One year, during the first ten days of Muharram, I was accompanying the group of flagellators of Sarwazak locality. I noticed a handsome youth, who during flagellating was casting glances at ladies. I could not bear to see this due to shame. I slapped him and expelled him from the group.

Within a few minutes, a pain rose up in my hand and continued to intensify till I became so helpless that I had to consult a doctor. He said: I am unable to detect the cause, but I have some oil for it.

I applied the medicated oil, but it was of no use and the pain went on increasing and the hand continued to swell. I returned home and was continuously weeping and wailing. I could not get any sleep, but when it was morning I dozed for a moment.

I saw Hazrat Shah Chirag in dream and he said: You should make amends with that youth. When I was fully awake, I realized what the cause of the pain was. So, I came out, searched for that young man and apologized to him. I made him pleased and satisfied and the pain disappeared immediately and the swelling was also gone in a little while. I realized that I had committed a mistake, had a misgiving and insulted a mourner of Imam Husayn ('a).

This incident shows that it is very dangerous to hurt or insult a believer and one who has faith in God, Prophet and the Imams; and it brings divine retribution and calamities.
