Prayers until the end

 

A day before Imam passed away, he prayed his Zuhr and Asr prayers having done wudhu.  As of one hour before the time of Zuhr, he would ask anyone who passed by as to how much time remained before Zuhr.  His aim was to make sure he said his prayers on time.

 

At 3.30 in the afternoon, Imam became unconscious.  The doctors tried to revive him.  At around Maghrib time, the doctors knowing that Imam had a deep attachment with prayers, called to him and said, "Agha, it is the time for prayers."  Imam, who was still unconscious at the time, responded to this call with a movement.  Then, with the motion of his hands and eyebrows, he proceeded to pray the Maghrib prayers.
