Do not extend your hand!
By: Mohammad Ensani
Mr. Rajaee’s followed a special method in teaching. Whenever he wanted to teach a new lesson, all students should put their pen, notebook, and book aside and just focus their attention into what he would say. He did not answer miscellaneous questions in class, because he did not want to waste the time in class. Once I asked him: ”?Sir, why do not you answer our religious Question? "He replied:”?I have free time in the afternoons. You can come and ask your miscellaneous questions”?. In the same day, when class was over, he drew together the students who had questions in the library and then said:”?Now, ask every question you have “.One of the student asked:”? Sir. Do you go to religious gatherings? ”?He answered:”?Yes I do’ .Another student asked;" Do you stay there for lunch also?" He answered: ”?On Tasua and Aashoura (The ninth and tenth of Moharram)I go to a morning ceremony on Ziba street which is held for commemoration of martyrs of Imam Hossein (A.S.).But I do not stay for food “.The student asked," Why don’t you stay? Is there a problem to stay for lunch?”?
Mr.Rajaee answered: "I remember Once I was there for a mourning ceremony, they kept us for lunch. They told us that we were Imam Husein’s guests. So we stayed there. When I saw the way they distributed the food I decided to leave, but the doors were locked". I asked:" What was wrong with distribution of the food? "He answered:”?People have veneration and honor which are ignored during some of theses food distributions. Everyone has a kind of generosity and magnanimity. In these gatherings usually some people some people ask the distributor to give them food. When it is your turn to get the food, it is served in an unsuitable manner”?.
Then he continued:”?never beg for something, even if it is Imam Hussein's food. You should sit down and wait until they give it to you respectfully “.
