The Imam’s look was filled with so much affection and was so soothing that God alone bears witness to it. Well, at times it is quite natural that there are problems in everybody’s life - problems, miseries and tensions are always present. But whenever we were faced with lots of problems as you might expect we would call on him. I can say without a bit of exaggeration that no sooner would he respond to our ‘Salam’ and fix his eyes on us that all our problems would be forgotten. I am not exaggerating even a bit when I say that all our problems would go away until the time we were in his presence whereas as soon as we would take leave of him, all our problems would return haunt us once again.
