Referring to a tradition on the importance of pilgrimage from Imam Sadeq (A.S.), Abuali reiterated, “This great Imam (A.S.) says: God bless one who has revived our order. It has also been said in another tradition that whoever goes to the pilgrimage of Hazrat Reza (A.S.) in Tous while he is aware of the fact that Imam Reza (A.S.) is, after the father, the first person to be obeyed as determined by God is like one who has visited Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.)”.
Noting that the group encountered lots of difficulties on the way, he added, “Most of the caravan’s members are senior citizens. All of these pilgrims tolerated the route’s problems including the cold weather so that they can come the pilgrimage of their lord”.
