Personal story of sacrifice and generosity

My wife never bought jewelry for herself.

I remember a time when winter was approaching in Mashhad

and the weather had turned cold. At that time, people heated their homes with

coal and things like that. People in need

would usually come to the homes of religious scholars

and ask them for coal.

That year, no money had yet been collected for me to buy coal.

My wife suggested using her gold bracelet

that her brother had given her as a gift for the birth of one of his children to

sell it. I objected,

but she insisted. After selling it,

with the help of another neighbor, we obtained the charcoal

and delivered it to the people. Truly, my wife's great patience

and endurance, and her insistence on

living simply, helped me a great deal along my path.
