It has been recalled through a series of memoirs that Imam has had a great devotion towards reciting Quran in all thick or thin times.
Once Imam felt pain in his eyes and consulted an eye specialist in the holy city of Najaf during his stay in exile.
At this the medic recommended Imam to stop reciting or reading of all books including the holy scripture of Quran.
At this, Imam became worried and asked doctor to do something for quick healing of his eyes so he can resume reciting Quran without any interruption of health issues
