 One day a group of sisters went to meet Ayatollah Saffi with Paygani and as is customary among many people when they visit their marja when they visit these grand scholars they'd like to receive blessing and the way these sisters try to express their respect and admiration to the marja and receive blessing from him is that one of the sisters said is it okay if we take your abaa, your cloak so that we may kiss it obviously being of the opposite gender they wouldn't be able to kiss his hand or his forehead but they wanted to kiss his abaa Ayatollah with Paygani said to the sisters he said to them that's okay but you know it is your chador it is your abaa your cloak and your veil that is more worthy of respect because whether I wear this or not doesn't really make a difference it doesn't affect my faith it doesn't affect other people's faith but your abaa every step you take in it while wearing your veil while wearing your hijab is a step that you take towards Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
