In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Praise is to Allah, the Lord of the worlds; May God's peace be upon Muhammad and his pure progeny, and His curse be upon all their enemies!
Thiqqat al-Islam Haj Sayyid `Isa Tabataba'i- May his blessings last long- is authorized on my behalf to collect religious funds and holy shares and spend one third of the holy share of the 12 th Imam (`a) on his expenses and propagation of the sacred religion and other uses specified and sending the other one third to me for revival of the pure appellation of Islam.
I admonish him, may God Almighty assist him, as the pious predecessors have admonished us to keep company of piety, to evade carnal desires and to be cautious in his worldly and after-world affairs. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon him and our pious brethren!
