Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Tranquil Heart Recollections Clothes of prayer A villager came to me asking for an item of Imam's clothing which he would have worn whilst saying his prayers. I went to see the Imam. When I had finished my work with him, I said, "Someone has asked me for an item of your clothing which you have worn whilst saying your prayers." The Imam smiled and cheerfully said, "No problem". He then gave me his own cloak so that I could give it to the villager.

I was surprised at how kind such a great personality was as compared to others and that in the face of such a request how extremely cheerfully he behaved. Ayatollah Mohamed Yazdi Prayer and supplication Amongst all of Imam’s duties and responsibilities, he gave great importance to reciting Quran and supplications and to praying on time. Imam would recite Quran between three and five times daily. During the Holy month of Ramadhan he would complete the recitation of the Quran thrice.

Mostly he would recite supplications from Mafaatihul Jinaan. On Thursday nights he would recite Dua-Kumail. I remember one day before Imam passed away, one of the ladies of his household asked me to sit besides him and recite a supplication. I recited Dua-e-Adeela which is appropriate at the time of death. I read it from Imam's Mafaatihul Jinaan. Whilst reading, I noticed a page marked in the book. I saw that it was Dua-Ahad that had been marked.

This is the supplication that if some recites for 40 days they will arise from their grave at the time of the coming of Imam Mehdi (a.s) and will be able to meet him. Ayatollah Tawassuli Quran and Prayers Imam would always recite Quran before the time of prayer set in. As soon as the time of prayer set in, he would immediately recite his prayers with humility and presence of the heart. After saying his prayers, Imam would always recite supplications in a soft whisper.

Hujjat al-Islam Aashtiyani Carefully When Imam would wake in the middle of the night to recite the Namaz-e-Shab he would light the way ahead with a small torch. He would never switch on the room light and would always move about quietly so as not to wake anyone else. Such was the extent that Imam considered the rights of others. He would always have regard for Islamic laws and behaviours.
