Some years ago a respectable Sayyid lady, who attended congregational prayer regularly, said:

Since long I had sought the mediation of my grandmother, Siddiqa Tahira Lady Fatima Zahra (‘a) till last night I saw the holy lady in dream and asked her:

Lady, what should we women do in order to get salvation? She replied: You should be regular and stead fast in six things, to be from the delivered people.

But I did not pay heed enough to ask what those six things were, till I woke up.

True follower of Ahl ul-Bayt ('a), Haider Aga Tehrani has narrated that some years ago, one day I was present in the outer courtyard of the shrine of Imam Ali Al-Ridha ('a) when I noticed an old man whose waist was bent. His hair and beard were fully grey and his eyebrows were hanging on the eyes. His presence of mind and humility attracted my attention. When he wanted to arise, I saw that he was unable to move. I helped him to get up and asked him that where he was staying. He replied: I am lodging in a room of Madressa Khairat Khan.

On 14th Rajab 1388 A.H., during my recent journey of Ziyarat, Abdur Rasool, the caretaker, narrated from late Sayyid Abd ul-Husayn, key keeper of Imam Husayn 's ('a) tomb, who was also a learned and nice man as follows:

One night I saw in the holy sanctuary that an Arab had placed his bleeding and dirty foot on the holy sepulcher and was pleading about his condition. I scolded him and finally ordered him to be taken out of the sanctuary. When he was going out, he said:

The gentleman scholar, Aga Hajj Moin Shirazi, from whom we have already narrated some incidents, said:

Aga Sayyid Husayn Warshoji, who traded in nickel in the Tehran market, once became involved in severe poverty. He exhausted all his capital and fell into huge debts.

During that time a girl came to his shop and said: I am a Jew girl and my father is dead. I have only 120 Tomans and I would like to get married. I heard that you are an honest man. So please take this money and give me the things listed in this paper as my trousseau.

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.

Aga Hajj Sayyid Muhammad Ja 'far has also narrated that:

Once I went for the Ziyarat of Karbala Moalla with my late mother, during which that lady fell ill and her illness stretched for more than forty days. Due to this, I fell in to deep debts and could not get any assistance from Shiraz or anywhere else. Thus, I took refuge with my master and standing at the head side in the holy sanctuary, I prayed: Master, you know how much I am troubled; pl ease help me.

Pious scholar, Hajj Sayyid Muhammad Ja'far Subhani, congregation leader of Majid Aga Lar, said:

In dream, I was pointed out the place of acceptance of supplication, inside the dome of the shrine of Imam Husayn (‘a). That place is at the head side of the holy grave facing the grave of Habib Ibn Mazahir.

In 1388 A.H. corresponding to Aban 47 A.H. we were in Najaf al-Ashraf for Ziyarat of the holy places. One day we went to perform the Ziyarat of Maytham at-Tammar with Aga Sayyid Ahmad Najafi Khorasani. There was a caretaker at that place, who offered tea by way of affection and did not accept anything in return.

Late Aga Mirza Mahmud Shirazi, from whom some stories are narrated, said:

I heard from late Hajj Mirza Hasan Ziyaut Tujjar Shirazi, who previously had a big dispensary in Shiraz and after that in Tehran that he said:

Late Hajj Sahamuddin has narrated from his father and that late gentleman has narrated from his grandfather that once the ruler of the time, late Husayn Ali Mirza took off his clothes to take bath in the river, but his dog prevented him.

He did not pay attention to it and was about to descend into the river. When the dog observed that stopping was of no use and he is about to step into the water, he jumped into the river at a particular point and was instantly attacked by a crocodile.
