The Dome of Lady Masoumahs Shrine

The Thirtieth Story

The dome of Lady Masoumah’s holy shrine needed to be repaired.
The architect said, “Renovation will take four years,” and estimated its cost and the amount of gold required.
In my notebook, I wrote down,
“Renovation needs four years! This sum of money, that amount of gold!”
I also wrote,
“We don’t have enough money and gold, nor will I live enough to supervise its renovation.”
Some moments later, somebody from the office of Ayatollah Bahjat called.
I was told that Ayatollah Bahjat wanted to see me ...
I went to him who told me, “Why don’t you repair the dome?”
Then he added, “Don’t worry, Allah will grant you a life long enough for its renovation, and the necessary fund and gold will be provided.”
He also gave me some money and said, “This is to start the renovation.”
I calmed down, and looked at my notebook as if he saw it.
I told the story to the Iranian Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei.
He said, “Act upon what Ayatollah Bahjat said.”
Renovation of the dome started.
It was finished in less than four years, and I do not know how the fund was provided!
I lived enough to see the renovated dome.
Ayatollah Bahjat also came for unveiling it.
