In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
" Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds; peace and salutations be upon Muhammad and his pure progeny, and may His curse be upon all their enemies."
It is hereby confirmed that His Eminence Sayyid al-A`lam wa Murawwij al-Ahkam Mr. Sayyid Muhsin Hazave'i Hamedani (may God always assist him) , who has spent a part of his valuable life acquiring religious knowledge and who is- thanks to God- endowed with goodness and honesty, is granted my permission to be in charge of financial and religious law affairs whose supervision is the duty of a fully-qualified jurist during the occultation of the Wali al-Amr (may God expedite his glorious advent) ." So, he will be in charge of the mentioned affairs, using the necessary caution." He is also allowed to collect the two blessed Shares, spending a part on his own living sparingly, delivering Sadat's Share to where it belongs, to spend a third of Imam's (`a) Share on the promotion of the sacred religion and to deliver the other two-thirds to this humble servant to be expended in the blessed seminary.
" And I advise him (may God Almighty assist him) - as we have been advised by the pious predecessors- to keep company of piety, to evade carnal desires, and to be meticulous in all affairs; and I hope he will not forget me in his benevolent prayers." May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon him and our faithful brethren.
