29. Sincerity of a Devoted Reciter of Imam Husain (a.s.)

On Saturday, 4th of Aban 1392 (solar) [equivalent to 20 Dhu al-Hijjah 1434 AH], Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Agha Haj Sheikh Abbas Sheikh al-Raees narrated about his grandfather Haj Akhund Mulla Husain Ali, that for many long years he would ascend the pulpit in the village of Zangi Abad near Kerman. Due to his advanced age and loss of teeth, the villagers invited a young, sweet-voiced preacher to take over.

This young preacher gave a moving and impressive speech with a pleasant voice on the first night of Muharram. The next day he fell ill and remained bedridden until the end of the ten days, and the gatherings were again managed by Mulla Husain Ali.

From the second night to the night of Ashura, Mulla Husain Ali would go to the pulpit, deliver a sermon, mention a few rulings, recite verses and hadiths, then recite elegy poems, and again repeat this pattern of sermon, rulings, verses, and lamentation, completing the majlis in this thorough manner.

On Ashura day, when the ceremonies ended, the villagers gathered money and presented it to him. He precisely divided it in half, kept one half, and gave the other half to that young preacher.

The villagers protested, saying: “But he never gave any lectures!”

Mulla Husain Ali replied: “Every night I delivered two lectures — one on my own behalf, and one on his behalf as his representative — so half of this money belongs to him.”

In this way, he practically demonstrated his sincerity in serving the Master of Martyrs (a.s.), and showed the villagers their mistake in trying to replace him with a rival.
