A friend of Shahīd Shahriyārī’s
November 10th, 2016
It was a Friday, and we had gone hiking and then made a pilgrimage to the shrine of Imamzāde Sāleh. When we reached the site [in the small cemetery next to the shrine] where the martyrs had been buried, Professor Shahriyārī said, “Happy the martyrs who are buried here.” We asked why. He said, “Whoever makes a pilgrimage to this shrine recites a fāteha prayer for these martyrs as well.”
