In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds; may God's 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, `Imad al-A`lam wa Thiqat al-Islam, Haj Mirza Husayn Nouri, may his blessings last, is granted my permission to be in charge of the financial affairs whose supervision is the duty of a fully competent jurist during the occultation of the Living Imam, may God Almighty expedite his glorious advent, and is also permitted to collect the money as per religious law; even the blessed Share of the Imam (`a) spending one-third of it for purposes made mandatory by religious law and remit the other two-thirds to me to be expended in the theological centers. He is also permitted to distribute, postpone as needed, to collect and deliver the religious payments in the prescribed manner.
" And I advise him, may God always assist him, as we have been advised by the pious predecessors, to adhere to piety, to evade carnal desires, and to be cautious in the 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 upon our faithful brethren.
