Hawzah News Agency- The text of Grand Ayatollah Nouri Hamadani's condolence message following the passing of Ayatollah Sayyed Sadeq Rouhani is as follows:

In the name of God

"To God We Belong and To God We Return"

The news of the passing away of Ayatollah Haj Sayyed Sadiq Rouhani (may God have mercy on his soul) caused a lot of grief and sadness.

That great jurist spent his blessed life on the path of promoting the culture of Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) and by training many students and authoring valuable works, he left valuable works of his own.

I offer my condolences for the loss of this pious scholar to the blessed presence of Hazrat Baghiyyatollah al-Azam (Ajjal Allah Ta'ala Farja Al-Sharif) and seminaries, noble family, students, especially their son, and I pray for the late Ayatollah’s eminent position in the hereafter.

Hussein Nouri Hamedani
