While in exile in the city of Najaf, the Imam had an eye problem. The doctor came, checked his eyes and remarked: “You should try to avoid reading the Qur’an for a few days and rest.” The Imam smiled and stated: Doctor, I want the eyes in order to recite the Qur’an. Of what use are they if I cannot recite the Qur’an with them. You do something so that I am able to recite the Qur’an.”
