One day I was at the Refah School that we received information that on that night they wanted to break into the Refah School and attack the residence of the Imam. We located a house behind the ‘Alawi School where we planned to take the Imam via the back door of that school to pass the night. Mr. Hashimi and the rest of the friends went and spoke with the Imam. He responded: “Any person who wishes can leave; I will not shift from this room.” Mr. Hashimi said that he again went to see the Imam and told him that it was essential that he live. He again replied: “Any person who is afraid may leave; I will stay in my room alone.” Everybody was horrified but the Imam showed not a single iota of fear and terror and just like on all other nights, he went to bed on time and woke up before dawn.[1]
