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 `Imad al-A`lam Mr. Shaykh `Ali Haydari Nahavandi, may Allah always assist him, is authorized by me to take charge of the financial and religious law affairs which are the duty of a fully-qualified jurist during the occultation of Wali al-Amr, may Allah expedite his glorious advent," so that he will be in charge of the mentioned affairs while exercising caution." He is also permitted to collect the blessed Share of Imam (`a) whose one-third is to be spent as prescribed by religious laws such as to be spent economically for his own sustenance while the other two-third is to be remitted to this humble servant for the purpose of preserving the significant religious seminaries; the receipt of payment is to be given to the payers of the funds.
" 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 that he will not forget me in his benevolent prayers." May God's peace and mercy be upon him and our pious brethren.
