A domestic in the house of the Imam narrated about starting of living in Najaf of the Imam and how they did not have a refrigerator in the house whereas most homes in Najaf had one. Considering the need for a refrigerator there, one day I told Aqa Mustafa that: “Haj Aqa, buy a refrigerator for us.” He replied in the positive but after he had consulted with the Imam, he had replied that: “Do all the seminary students own a refrigerator that we should also have one?” After a period of time when during visits we noticed that all of them did have refrigerators we mentioned it to the Imam. It was then that the Imam allowed a small refrigerator to be arranged.
