Imam Khomeini defined through his historic speeches and the holy shrine as source of spiritual abundances and divine mercy. Some of key expressions by Imam Khomeini in this regard come as following:
In an adress to gathering of people from the holy city of Mashhad, Imam once in a historic message in this regard said as following:
You honorable (audience) who come from the holy city of Mashhad, which is the center for devotion to the pure progeny of the holy prophet, have great spiritual prosperity.
You everyday wake up as your eyes are blessed to be focused on Imam Rida (PBUH)’s the holy shrine, which is center of knowledge and landing place of angels. This is while we all miss this…
(Sahifeh ye-Imam, Vol. 12, P. 106)
The infallible Imams such as Imam Reza (PBUH) were the selected ones of the God and outstanding, distinguished.
The infallible successors used to become the practical example for others during their lives. These divine personalities taught the lesson of life to the people.
The great Imams did not segregate and separate themselves from them and did not lead their lives on the style and pattern of the tyrants and oppressors. They did not overlook or show heedlessness and disrespect to anyone.
Sheikh Saduk narrates through the words of Ibrahim bin Abbas that, "I never saw Imam Reza (PBUH) committing excess over anyone in talking and interrupting anybody's speech before its coming to the end. He did not stretch his legs in the presence of others. When the meal table was laid he invited the servants to it, and took his meals with them. After taking rest in the nights he got up and made himself busy with the prayers to God. Similar to his fore fathers he carried food to the houses of the afflicted ones at the mid of nights."
