A particular quality in Imam's character was his punctuality and being on time.
I remember the classes we had with the Imam at the Salmasi Mosque of Qom.
He was always on time and it seldom occurred that we could reach the class before his Excellency.
Whenever we got the mosque he was sitting there on a piece of rug waiting for other students to arrive.
Such practical behavior was a great lesson for us and inspired everybody.
