I have travelled many times with Imam. Only God knows how on journeys he was like a father to us. To such an extent, that every time I recall those times I am moved.
Once I went with Imam to Mashad for the Ziyarat of Imam Raza (a.s.). At that time, parts of Iran were under the control of Russia, America, and England.
On the way back from Mashad, in the middle of the journey, the Russians stopped our car for inspection and we were forced to get out.
Because Imam was always punctual about his prayers and would always wake for Namaz -e-Shab, he wanted to pray.
We were in the middle of the desert and there was no water available. However, at one point we looked and water was flowing. Imam rolled up his sleeves and did wudhu. We did not know where he found this water or whether it was still there or not after prayers.
