Lover of the night

 

One year, it snowed so much in Qum that half the town was flooded.  That year, I witnessed that every night in the Fayziyeh school, Imam, no matter how hard, would break the ice in the fountain and would do his wudhu.  Then, in the darkness of night, he would say his prayers with sincerity.  Until now, I am unable to explain how he was able to be so happy at that time. 

 

This lover of the night would stay awake till the Adhaan of the dawn prayers reciting supplications. At the time of Adhaan, he would go to the Haraam of Hazarat Masuma (a.s.) and in the mosque of Mosque of Balaa Sar (ahead of holy grave), he would say his prayers behind Agha Mirza Jawadi Aqaamalaqi.  After prayers, he would study.  I am able to say that in terms of worship, there were very few like him among the religious scholars.
