In the Name God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
" Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds; may God's peace and salutation be upon Muhammad and his pure progeny, and His curse be upon all their enemies."
It is hereby confirmed that His Eminence Sayyid al-A`lam wa Thiqat al-Islam Haj Sayyid `Ata'ullah Zayn ad-Din (may his graces last) - who has spent a part of his valuable life acquiring religious knowledge- is granted my permission to be in charge of the 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." His Eminence is also allowed to collect the two blessed Shares, spending a part on his own living sparingly and the rest of the esteemed Sadat's Share in the specified blessed religious ways and to deliver the remainder of the blessed Share of the Imam (`a) to this humble servant to be expended in the blessed seminary.
" And I advise him (may God assist him) - as we have been advised by the pious predecessors- to keep company of piety, to evade carnal desires, and to be cautious in his worldly and afterworld 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.
