Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – July 3, 1987

Friday prayer was led by Ayatollah Khamenei. I was at home all day. I wrote the statement of the assembly of experts and consulted with Mr. Khamenei and Mr. Meshkini and sent it to be broadcast at the end of the meeting. The representatives of the experts authorized three of us to prepare the statement. I got rid of the fatigue of the last busy week.

In reports, the issue of the Persian Gulf has maintained its importance. I sent Asr Mohsen, Hajiya brought her father. They have recently come to Tehran from Nogh. They are fine. Ashikh Muhammad Hashemian [Imam Juma Rafsanjan] came. He told the situation of Rafsanjan. He told the story of a new body that is said to have been buried centuries ago in the outskirts of Rafsanjan and recently due to a flood, the grave was opened and the body was discovered.

He said that he himself saw and touched the body. The shroud is intact and has the verses of Surah Juma. The flesh and bones of the body remain normal but dry. Several people have cured incurable patients, some of whom are known to them, and this matter has attracted the attention of the people. Political currents differ on the issue. The conservative faction asked me to tell Ashikh Mohammad not to make too much noise. Efat's sister Qudsi called from Belgium and asked me to solve the travel problem of those who have dual citizenship and want to travel to the country with an Iranian passport.
