It has been recalled through a series of memoirs that Imam Khomeini used to forgive those who used to commit personal insults towards him.
In some cases, Imam not only used to forgive, but also pray for them.
Once a woman wrote a letter from Fars Province to Imam explaining that humans are destined to committing mistakes and her husband had utteed insulting remarks about him.
At thism Imam with great patience forgave him.
People within close circle of Imam say that he never reacted to personal insults, but either ignored such incidents or passed by them wth a great gracefullness.
Imam observed divine pleasure while carrying out all tasks or performing governmental affairs.
