Aqa Nūri writes in his book Dārus Salām:
“A person came to Aga Muhammad ‘Ali a pious scholar and author of the book Magame, and said:
“I dreamt that I am tearing at the flesh of Imam Husain (a.s.) with my teeth. What is the interpretation of this dream?”
Aga Muhammad ‘Ali pondered a while and then said:
“You must be a preacher, relating the tragedies (Masaeb).”
The man replied in the positive.
Aga Muhammad ‘Ali told him, “Either you give up this profession or quote only from reliable books.”
Another similar anecdote is recorded in the book, Shifaus-sudoor. A preacher was reciting a majlis in the presence of Ayatullah Al-Haj Muhammad Ibrahīm Kalbasi. He was saying that Hazrat Imam Husain (a.s.) said, “Zainab, O! Zainab.”
Upon hearing this Ayatullah Kalbasi loudly exclaimed, “May Allah break your mouth! Imam (a.s.) did not say ‘Zainab’ twice, he had said it only once.
