The respected Sayyid has narrated from Shaykh Husayn Halawi, student of Sayyid Murtaza Kashmiri that he wanted to marry the daughter of late Sayyid Mohsin Amili. Thus he met his teacher and before he could mention his real objective, he asked him to please draw one Istikhara for him. After a moment's consideration, the Sayyid remarked: I don't like that a Sayyid lady should marry a non-Sayyid. When he said this in the beginning itself, I changed my mind about taking Istikhara.
