Sheikh Fadhil Al Muwahhidi, relates that he had the
opportunity of accompanying the great Marja of Islam,
called Seyyid Al Burujardi who died in the year 1370
A.H., to the hot springs situated in the city of Mahallat,
which are known to be the cure of bones and muscles,
as the great Marja was complaining of pain in the
legs.
Sheikh Fadhil says that they remained in that city
for a short time , and when the people came to know
that their Marja was residing in their city as a guest,
they warmly welcomed him and it became obvious that
most of the people were very poor.
The Marja on appraising the situation asked Sheikh
Fadhil to buy cattle and have them slaughtered so
as to distribute the meat to the poor. Sheikh Fadhil
carried out the order and as the meat was distributed,
a bit of the meat was set aside and delicious Kabaabs
or broiled meat were cooked and put in front of the
Marja.
The Marja only drank some milk with bread and cucumbers,
and ignored the kabaabs completely. When he was asked
the reason for his action he said that how could he
consume the kabaabs when the poor people were not
offered the same. As a result all the kabaabs were
distributed amongst the poor. (MARDARE ILM DAR MIAANE
