Hujjatul Islam Haaj Husayn Nizamuddin Isfahani writes, ‘I was in the house of Haaj Abdul Ghafoor. The latter was the servant of Mirza Muhammad Taqi Isfahani, who was the author of Mikyalul Makarim. Some other friends were also present there.
One of those present in that room, said ‘My brother had expired. I saw him in a dream a few days ago. He was very well dressed. I was completely bewildered to see him in that dress. I asked, ‘From whom have you borrowed that dress.
He replied, ‘No, it is not borrowed.’
I said, ‘I am aware of your deeds in the world, and you did not merit such good clothes.’
He said, ‘You are right. Indeed my deeds were shameful and I did not merit this bounty. But yesterday was nothing less than an Eid for the corpses here. Apparently a lady believer was buried here. In the first night after her burial, Sayyadush Shohada, Imam Husayn (a.s.) visited her grave. He ordered that her grave and all neighbouring graves be relieved of chastisement. Since my grave was close to her grave, I was also granted security from 40 chastisement, and that is why today you see me in such beautiful clothes.’
I woke up the next morning. It was time for the Azaan of Salat al Fajr. After finishing my Salat I left for the famous and historical cemetery near Isfahan where my brother was buried so that I could verify my dream. When I reached there, I saw some people busy reciting Quran around some graves. I inquired from them about that lady who was buried yesterday.
They replied, ‘Yes, indeed last night a lady was buried.’ They showed me the location of her grave. Satisfied, I immediately went to meet her son, who was staying near Ayatullah Mirza Abu Ma’aali. the latter was the teacher of Mirza Burujardi. After greeting him, I asked him about his mother’s death.
said, ‘She expired last night.’ I inquired, ‘Did she organize gatherings (majalis) to observe the mourning for Imam Husayn (a.s.)? Was she herself reciting difficulties and afflictions of Imam (a.s.) in these gatherings? Was she blessed with the good fortune of Imam Hussain’s Ziyarat in Karbala?’
He replied to the three queries in the negative, and asked, ‘But exactly what would you like to know about her?’
I narrated the entire dream to him. After I had finished he said, ‘Yes everyday, she used to recite the Ziyarat of Sayyedush Shohada, Imam Husayn (a.s.).’
Near, Mirza Abul Ma’aali’s grave was a room, where Haaj Abdul Ghafoor and his friends used to gather.
One day all the eminent scholars of Isfahan assembled in that place. Among them were Mustafa Faqih Emani, Shaykh Amir and Haji Husayn Mahdavi Ardkani. Haji Abdul Ghafoor introduced this lady’s son to the people gathered over there. He even showed the grave where Imam Husayn (a.s.), had himself visited it, and granted security to all the graves around that grave.
