My brother Haj Aqa Rida Thaqafi would say: “One day he was received by the Imam who gave him a letter which was to be handed to the IRIB authority for broadcasting throughout the network. I handed the letter to the relevant authority. A few minutes later, the Imam called me and stated: “Go and bring back the letter immediately.” I brought back the letter. The Imam changed a few words and again handed me the letter and stated: “Now give it to the news broadcasting network.” I did as I was told and then went to the Imam and asked him what was wrong with the letter. The Imam stated: “In the letter I had written that I pray for the Baseej volunteers with all my attention whereas this was not right and so I wrote that I pray for the Basij volunteers with my maximum attention.”
Diligence in matching words with actions: ‘Ali Thaqafi
