Al Haj Seyyid Muhammad Hassan Naaji Shirazi informed
his own son after his death in a dream that the person
his son had hired to pray the Salaat and Fasts that
he had missed in his life time, had not acted upon
his will and in fact had only repaid the equivalent
of six days prayers.
Seyyid Muhammed Hassan Naaji's son relates that his
father had instructed him to hire a man to pray an
equivalent of four years prayers, and four months
fasts. His son had done as instructed, but after some
time his son saw his father in a sorry state and he
was informed that his will had not been acted upon.
His son immediately went to ask the man whom he had
hired and on checking the books in which the hired
man used to write how much of the worship he had accomplished,
they realized that the dream was true. The hired man
apologized and said that he had been under the impression
that he had accomplished much, but from then he promised
to complete the contract. (AL QASAS AL AJIIBAH)
