Addressees: Mahdi Shafiq and Hadrati Bazaar tradesmen

Bazaar, Tehran

The honorable tradesmen of Hadrati Bazaar (may God Almighty assist them) :

I would like to thank you for your expression of sympathy on this grave disaster, which reminds us of the event of martyrdom in Karbala'. The government forces mercilessly suppressed the spiritual and physical children of the Holy Prophet and hurt the Imam of the Time's heart. God Almighty is Sufficient.
