[In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
After praising God and sending salutations to the Prophet and his progeny, it is confirmed that His Excellency Thiqat al-Islam Shaykh Husayn Qarani- may his confirmations last- has been granted permission and authority by this humble servant to narrate hadith and propagate the works of the pure Imams (`a) from the reliable books of the Imami `ulama' (may Allah be pleased with them all). He is also authorized to collect the religious funds such as zakat, charities, vows and the expiation and injustices alms of the servants of God for unclaimed properties, to spend them on the religiously prescribed cases and affairs that could promote the religion. He is also authorized to collect the blessed share of the Imam (`a), spend one-third for his sustenance and remit the other two-thirds to this humble servant to be spent for the religious seminary. He has to issue receipts for all the funds he has collected and give them to the owners.
"And I advise him- may God Almighty assist him- to adhere to piety and exercise caution as it is the way to salvation; and I hope he will not forget me in his benevolent prayers at the times when prayers are accepted just as I do not forget him, God willing." May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon him and upon our faithful brothers.

He is authorized on my behalf in the manner that has been written. May he be successful, God willing.
