One night when we were in the presence of the Imam, he stated: “An old man had come to see me and with absolute confidence told me that two of his sons had been martyred in the path of Islam while the body of his third son who was also his last son (and was only 18 years old and was martyred in the Wal-Fajr 8 offensive) was brought for burial today and because he too was on his way to the warfront he had come to take leave from me.” The Imam continued: “The courage and spirit of valor of this man had such an impact on me that I resolved to kiss his hands but because he was on the floor of the courtyard and I was upstairs, my lips could not reach his hands.”[1]
