When the Imam arrived in the city of Qom, a large crowd of people gathered inside and outside his residence. The rooms were crammed with people as well. The Imam entered the room and despite its being overcrowded, he met the people with calmness and composure. Those present in the meeting room hugged the Imam and kissed his hands profusely. In the meanwhile, as soon as those people who were waiting outside and in the other rooms caught glimpse of the Imam in his room, they rushed in that direction and began to bang on the door. The Imam demanded that the door to the meeting room be opened and so I opened the door and people rushed in. Then again the Imam asserted: “No one should leave this house unhappily. Open the door.”
