One day Haj Ahmad Aqa called the Command Headquarters for Guerrilla Warfare in Ahwaz from the Imam’s Office and said that the Imam had mentioned that he longed to see Dr. Chamran and that he come to Tehran.
On hearing this message, Dr. Chamran who was in those days wounded in the leg in the Susangerd warfront, came to Tehran to meet with the Imam. In his presence, we took the maps and charts of the area of operation to the Imam. Dr. Chamran who was wounded in the leg and could not fold his knees but out of respect for the Imam who had expressed his affection for him, he folded his knees in front of him and while he had to tolerate a lot of pain, he began to give detailed account and explanation of the maps. With the unique sagacity that he was gifted with, the Imam came to know of the pain and discomfort of Dr. Chamran and stated: “Dr. Chamran, stretch out your legs and be comfortable.” Dr. Chamran replied that he was comfortable. The Imam insisted: “I say stretch out your legs.” Out of respect for the Imam, Dr. Chamran did not agree and insisted that he was not feeling any discomfort. In an unusual tone the Imam repeated himself twice stating: “I say stretch out your legs out and be comfortable.” Right away Dr. Chamran agreed. After the meeting had ended, the Imam who was preparing to go to the Jamaran Husayniyyah to meet with the people, called out to his son Haj Ahmad Aqa who was standing in the middle of the courtyard. However, Haj Ahmad Aqa who was inside the courtyard could not hear the Imam. So from inside the room I called out to him and told him that the Imam wanted to talk to him. When Haj Ahmad Aqa came to the Imam, the Imam stated to him that: “With his injured leg, Mr. Chamran cannot pass through these tables that you have arranged here. Remove them from here and open the way.”
