In His Most Exalted Name
To the respectable family members of the late Thiqat al-Islam Mr. `Ashouri, «1» may God have mercy on him:
I am shocked, and I condole with you on the great loss inflicted on you, which I share with you. I hope that the Almighty God blesses his soul and grants fortitude and rewards you and protects you in His refuge. May peace be upon you.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
