In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds; may peace and salutations be upon Muhammad and his pure progeny; and may Allah's curse be upon all their enemies.
It is hereby confirmed that His Eminence `Umdat al-A`lam wa Murawwij al-Ahkam Mr. Aqa Shaykh Muhammad Hikmat Gonabadi, may his graces last, has been granted my permission to be in charge of the financial and religious law affairs, recognizing the subject matter and precepts in a cautious manner. He is also permitted to collect the blessed Share of the Imam (`a), economically spend the same for his sustenance and remit the remainder to this humble servant to be spent in the religious seminaries.
" And I advise him, may God, the Exalted, 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 his worldly and afterworld affairs. I hope he will not forget me in his benevolent prayers." May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon him and our pious brethren.
