Whenever I would go to see the Imam, he would encourage me to perform the ritual prayers. I remember when I was just five years of age I entered the Imam’s room and saw that he was reciting his ritual prayers. I stood behind him and recited my ritual prayers as well. After the prayer was over the Imam rewarded me with a number of books.
