In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Praise is to God, the Lord of the Worlds, and may God's peace be upon Muhammad and his pure progeny; and His Curse be upon all their enemies.
His Eminence Sayyid al-A`lam and Hujjat al-Islam Sayyid Ahmad Taqawi- may his graces last- is permitted on my behalf to take charge of financial and religious law affairs and accept religious payments such as zakat, compensations and the blessed shares of the Imams. He is to spend of the portion of the sadat on the spot; and to spend half of the portion of the blessed share of the Imams (`a) for his own expenses and propagation of the sacred edicts and spreading the pure religion of Islam and to send the other half to me for expenditure of the sacred theological schools.
I advise him- may God Almighty assist him- as we have been admonished by the pious predecessors to keep company of piety, to avoid carnal desires and to be cautious. I hope he will not forget me in his benevolent prayers; may God peace, mercy and blessings be upon our faithful brethren.
