The late Shaykh Nasrullah Khalkhali sent one of the photographs of the Imam from Najaf to Lebanon that was printed in two small and large sizes. After the Imam came out from the shrine of Imam ‘Ali (‘a) and reached home, he went to the inner room. Mr. Khalkhali took brought the photographs to the outer room. In the night, the Imam called out from the upper storey of the house that was connected to the inner room that: “Bring the photographs!” I said okay. Because the photos looked interesting, I got the urge to keep p. one for myself. As soon as I had got this feeling the Imam called: “Keep one of them.” After that as much as friends pleaded and urged me to take them from the Imam, he refused to give them stating: “I myself forbid the people from being worldly and this is worldliness.”
