30. Benefit Of The Holy Qur’an
Hajj Ali Aga said: I did not attend school in my childhood and remained uneducated. During my youth, I became extremely eager to read the Holy Qur’an, till one night I prayed to Hazrat Hujjat (a.t.f.s.).

Trustworthy and equitable scholar, Hajj Ali Aga Salman, whose honesty is acknowledged by all, may God keep him in health, said:
Late Salahi (r.a.) has also narrated the following story:
Twenty years ago there was a smallpox epidemic in Shiraz. Perhaps not a single family there remained free of this malady and many deaths took place. Seven members of the family of Aga Hajj Abdur Rahim Sarfaraz were also down with smallpox, but the Almighty Allah cured them through the blessings of Imam Husayn ('a).
He mentions the details of this incident as follows:
The righteous servant of the Almighty, Late Hajj Muhammad Hashim Salahi (r.a.) got a sore in his mouth, which was always bleeding and full of puss and he was extremely distressed by that. He used to consult Dr. Yawari for its treatment till the doctor recommended electrical therapy, but its machinery was not available in Shiraz, so he advised him to go to Shorwi Hospital in Tehran.
I had the honor of meeting Aga Hajj Sayyid Farajullah Bahbahani regarding the journey of Hajj. I heard from him that a miracle occurred during a mourning program, (Majlis) of Imam Husayn ('a) at his house. I begged him to write it down for me. The gentleman wrote a letter to me and following is the actual text of that letter.
Some Sayyids of Najafabad, Isfahan came to Late Aga Bedabadi (may Allah exalt his status) and said: A water spring, which flowed from the mountains, was very beneficial to us, but has dried up since a few days, due to which we are facing a lot of difficulties. Please supplicate to Allah to remove our problems.
The Aga wrote the last verses of Surah Hashr on a piece of paper:
لَوْ أَنْزَلْنَا هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنَ عَلَىٰ جَبَلٍ لَرَأَيْتَهُ
Aga Eimania has also narrated that his cousin (son of father's sister), Husayn Aga Muzda and his mother fell seriously ill and were on the verge of death.
The Late Aga Bedabadi (a.m.) arrived and said: One of them has to go. [That is the death of one of them was definite.] I have prayed for the health of Husayn Aga and he would recover.
That same evening Husayn Aga's mother passed away and the Almighty Allah bestowed recovery to Husayn Aga and he is safe and sound even today.
The same Aga Eimania has narrated from Hajj Ghulam Husayn, chief trader of Bushahar that:
Aga Eimania also said: In the journey, in which we were returning from Isfahan to Shiraz, we had the honor of visiting Aga Haji Bedabadi. He said: Mirza Mahallati (also mentioned in previous stories) wrote to me that I have forgotten him in my supplications. Please convey my greetings to him and tell him that I have not forgotten him. Thus, three times on so and so night the peril of death moved towards you and I prayed to Master of the Age (a.t.f.s.) for your well being and the Almighty Allah protected you.
Aga Eimania (may Allah keep him in peace) says: In that same journey, at the time of bidding farewell, Aga Bedabadi said: You will face robbery and plunder in this journey, but no harm would come to you. After that he gave me 14 Tomans equivalent to the number of Infallibles.
