Solving Difficult Problems

1 min read

The late Dastghayb1 wrote:

I was in the presence of Sayyid Farīd, a scholar from Tehran and the narrator of the first story, that he said: When I faced any difficult problems, I would remember the words of the late Āyatullāh Mirza Muḥammad Taqi al-Shīrāzī. So, I'd start reading Ziyārat ʻĀshūrāʼ from the beginning of Muḥarram al-Ḥarām, and miraculously, my problems would be solved2.
