"Do not Tease me Husayn Ali!

"Do not Tease me Husayn Ali!" On one of the weekdays-between the two Sundays-I told him: 'We hear things narrated to us from the Prophets and noblemen and wish we had been at their time and heard them directly; now, you who are my closest kin have had this experience. I wish I knew what it was (that happened to you). He kept silent and said nothing. I repeated my request two or three more times in different wordings and he still kept silent.

It was the fourth or the fifth time (of my repeating the request) that he responded: "Do not tease me Husayn Ali" I said: 'I meant to understand something.' He said: "I cannot make you understand; you go and try to understand it yourself." This state has remained as a puzzle to me and my mother, brother, sister and aunt, and up to the present that I am writing this account, i.e., 9:30 a.m, Tuesday, July 15, 1975 (fifth of Rajab, 1395 AH.), I know nothing of (the details of) this issue, but just say that such state really happened.[^1] [^1]: "The Forgotten Virtues", p.
