The son of Ayatollah Seyyed Reza Baha' al-Din says: When young people asked their father for guidance, he would emphasize not lying and would say to abandon forbidden things and be active in obligatory things.

Simplicity in life

He lived a simple life and lived for 50 years in a house that did not have the slightest facilities, but with this simplicity, whenever a guest came and people came to visit him, he would welcome them with open arms.

He had a small charcoal samovar, and when a guest came, he would sit by the samovar himself and pour tea for the guest, no matter who it was, and if they had any questions, he would answer them with an open arm.

The remembrance of blessings for the dead is very special. Sometimes I say Salawat to Ahlul-Bayt and I saw strange effects. I dreamed that a person was suffering from several types of torment. I gave him some blessings. I saw him again in my dream, and Alhamdulillah, the blessings saved him. Someone said: My mother died a few years ago, one night I saw her in a dream, she said: My son! Nothing makes my soul happy like salawat; the best gift you can give me is this remembrance.
