41. Mourning for Imam Husain (a.s.)

Ayatollah Hajj Sayyid Ṣādiq Shīrāzī said on Tuesday, 21/12/1380 SH (corresponding to 27 Dhu al-Ḥijjah 1422 AH):

“About 44 years ago, apparently on the night of Tāsūʿā, I entered the sacred shrine of Sayyid al-Shuhadā (a.s.) together with my esteemed father.

A certain gentleman, who, despite the presence of the late Ayatollah Burūjirdī and Ayatollah Sayyid ʿAbd al-Hādī Shīrāzī, was regarded as having a claim to being the most learned (aʿlam), also entered the shrine. He had some doubts about one of the forms of the Ḥusainī rituals.

One of his close companions, in the presence of a gathering including my esteemed father, asked:

“What is your opinion about this kind of mourning?”

My father, although the question was quite simple, would always pause briefly before answering any question. After a moment of reflection, he said:

“I saw someone who, in terms of knowledge and piety, was not less than these gentlemen, rather even higher — I saw him doing this act.”

By “someone,” he meant the late Ayatollah Shaykh Muḥammad Taqī Shīrāzī (1258–1338 AH).
