The pious and righteous personality, the late Hajj Shaykh Ghulam Al-Ridha Tabisi, approximately thirty-three years ago came to Shiraz and stayed there for some months in Madressa of Aga Babakhan. When I went to meet him, he said:

I performed the Ziyarat of the holy places in a caravan of some friends. A night before returning to Iran, I remembered that though we had performed the Ziyarat of all the holy places, we had not visited Masjid Buratha. How nice it would have been if we had visited this place as well and had not been deprived of the blessings of that place? I said to my companions: Come, let us go to Masjid Buratha, but they did not agree and instead said that there was no sufficient time for it.

When they declined, I left alone and traveled from Kazmain to Masjid Buratha. I found its gate closed and it seemed that people had locked the door from inside and left and there was no one there. I was perplexed as I had covered this distance with great anticipation. When I examined the wall, I realized that it would be possible to scale it. So I climbed over it and entered the mosque and took it for granted that since the door was closed from inside, it would be easy to open it, whereas no one else was present in the Masjid.

After the rituals, I noticed that people had placed a very strong lock from inside and then exited from there with a ladder or something. l was extremely anxious as the wall was absolutely un-scalable from inside. I said: I have spent my lifetime in devotion to Imam Husayn ('a) and hope that when I reach the gate of Paradise, it would open with the blessings of the Imam, and the gate of Paradise is more important than this gate, so it can also open with the blessings of Imam Husayn ('a). After that I placed my hand on the lock and pulled it saying: O Husayn; and it opened immediately. I came out and thanked the Almighty. After that I also managed to join my caravan.

Masjid Al-Buratha

Muhaddith Qummi has said in Mafatih ul-Jinan that Masjid al-Buratha is a famous place of visitation and it is situated on the visitor route between Baghdad and Kazmain, but most of the time people remain deprived of its benefits and don't pay any attention to it, even though its merits and excellence are mentioned in excess.
