The Imam would meet with every group that would come to visit him even if he had to stay for hours in cold and hot weather. Many a time while it was snowing or raining the Imam would go to the rooftop and respond to people’s emotions. At certain times when it would be snowing and we wanted to hold an umbrella over his head, he would get annoyed and state: “The people are in the same weather conditions as I am…I do not need an umbrella!”
