When the residence of the Imam was besieged by the Ba‘athist forces, some people who were among the sources of emulation and thus were expected to enquire about the well-being of the Imam or at least call him up, did not even care to do so. Thus it was quite likely that some of the friends and companions of the Imam who were deeply disturbed would occasionally express their displeasure about them. The Imam stated to them: “Perhaps some of the friends will become a bit angry or a bit disappointed. But I am not acquiescent that you gossip about any person within the four walls of my house.”
I am not acquiescent that you gossip about a person in my house: Ayatullah Khatam Yazdi
