It is also narrated from late Shaykh Muhammad Nahawandi that one night he saw in dream that he was performing the Ziyarat of Mash-had Muqaddas and had entered the holy sanctuary.

He saw Imam Hazrat Hujjat (a.t.f.s.) at the head side of the grave. He thought that though he was having permission (ljaza) of Supreme jurist (Maraja Taqlid), to spend the Imam 's share of Khums funds, it would be better to take the permission of the Imam directly. Thus, he met the Hazrat, paid homage to him and asked: To what extent do you permit me to spend from your share of Khums? Imam ('a) replied: This much every month (he forgot the amount).

After some years, this Shaykh Muhammad came for the Ziyarat of Holy Mash-had. At that time Late Ayatullah Hajj Aga Sayyid Husayn Burujardi was also present there. One day Shaykh Muhammad entered the holy sanctuary and reached to the head side. He saw Aga Burujardi sitting at the place he had seen Imam (‘a) in dream.

He says: I thought that I already have the permission of most of senior jurists (Maraja Taqlid) for spending from the Imam's share of Khums money, but it would be better if I took the permission of Aga Burujardi as well. So I stepped forward and met him. He also said: Such and such amount every month [same as that which Imam Zaman (‘a) had mentioned in dream]. Thus I remembered the dream I had a few years ago and understood that everything occurred in the exact way, except for the fact that instead of Hazrat Hujjat (a.t.f.s.) Aga Burujardi was sitting there.

The moral of this story is that during the period of occultation of the Imam, the Shia should accord respect to the most learned scholars as they would to the Imam of the Time ('a), and they must refer to them to find out laws of Shariah and divine commands; and consider their words as the words of the Imam.

In the story of Hajj Ali Baghdadi, mentioned in Mafatih ul-Jinan, also, Hazrat Hujjat (a.t.f.s.) told Hajj Ali that the supreme jurisprudents (Maraja) of Najaf al-Ashraf: Shaykh Murtaza Ansari, Shaykh Muhammad Husayn Kazmi, Shaykh Muhammad Hasan Sharuqi are my deputies. He also said: My portion conveyed to them is accepted.
