After lessons, the seminary students would walk behind the Imam and the Imam in order that people would not say how large a number of proteges he had would change his route and would walk through the lanes and by lanes in order to avoid walking down the streets. Sometimes we would come out of the mosque and go towards the shrine of Her Holiness Fatimah Ma‘sumah. He would walk down the lanes and we would think he was returning home but later we would see him reemerge near the shrine. It became apparent that he was changing his route so that the seminary students did not follow behind him.
