The Imam would never allow his time to be wasted. We saw on many occasions that minutes before the meal was to be served which is normally spent idly, he would use those minutes to study and recite the glorious Qur'an. Once I went in his presence for some work. When the conversation ended, he looked at his watch and said: "Can you give a one-minute definition?" before I could think about it and workout my mind, the one-minute had elapsed and the Imam switched on the radio. At that instant I realized that he intended to use the one-minute before the news broadcast and not to spend it idly because he had a habit of listening to the news on time.[1]
