Letter [to Sayyid Muhammad-`Ali Qadi Tabataba'i]

 In His Most Exalted Name
Dhou'l-Hijjah 10,1398 AH
His Eminence Sayyid al-`Ulama' al-A`lam wa Hujjat al-Islam Mr. Haj Sayyid Muhammad `Ali Qadi, may his blessings last:
May God grant you good health and success, and I hope that you will be even more successful than before in achieving the holy goals of Islam, and may you be successful. As I understand, an unknown person who has introduced himself as Abou Hamid, has distributed a false telegram in my name, in which, he has insulted Your Eminence and has accused of spying such a respectable personality as yourself, who is one of my old friends and is a servant of Islam and the Muslims, and is against the oppressive system and the regime. This telegram is false and this person, if he exists, is unknown to me, and he may be connected to the system «2» or perhaps he is a wrongdoer who is trying to create disunity. May God, the Most Exalted, protect Islam and the Muslims from the evil of the wicked. I hope that you will pray for me and for good results. May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
