He says that: During my days in Najaf, there poke a severe famine. I left my house leaving behind my children who were crying with hunger and thirst so as to search something for them. I passed through ‘Wadi-us-Salaam’, and entered there in with the intention of reciting ‘Fateha’ for the departed souls, and this act would pacify me and make me forget my sorrow. I saw some people the graveyard with a bier, and they requested me to join them in the funeral.
