In the year 1963, on the morning of ''Ashura' day, while the Imam was at home among the people and was listening to religious invocations, one of the secret service 'Savak' authorities got to him and after introducing himself, mentioned: "I am commissioned on behalf of His Royal Highness to communicate to you that if you want to give a speech at the Faydiyyah Theological School, I will break into the seminary with my commandos and spill blood."
Without showing the slightest reaction and without a twitch of an eyebrow, he responded: "We too will order our commandos to teach a lesson to the Shah's agents."[1]
