🔺 Two Meters of Calico!
▫️Hojatoleslam Sheikh Mahdi Ansari recounts:

🔹 One morning, I went with Allamah Jafari to buy bread 🍞. A porter came, put down his load, and said: "Gentlemen, could one of you help me lift this onto my shoulder?"

🔸 The late Jafari stepped forward and lifted the load. The old man bowed his head and said: "Place it a little higher so it rests on my head."

▪️ Mr. Jafari said: "Your head, like mine, has no hair. This load will put pressure on your head."
▫️The porter replied: "What can I do? God has willed my livelihood and worldly life to be this way... It's alright."

▪️ Mr. Jafari told him: "Put the load down." Then he took off his own turban and placed it on the porter's head, saying: "Now put the load on your head!"
▫️The porter said: "Sir, this is your turban!"

▪️ He replied in his Azeri accent: "Go on, dear! This is just two meters of calico—where was the turban? May God purify the heart."

🌀 I took off my own turban and gave it to Mr. Jafari so his head would not be bare.

🔻 He said to me: "You are young, and such temptations may come to you. We have passed that stage, and God had mercy on us—and may He continue to bless us until the end."

An unforgettable lesson in humility, compassion, and true dignity.
