Nobody dared to eat food with the Shah in the same table, but Tayyeb did. He was a ruffian from Tehran city.
– Whenever shah wanted to ruin a ceremony, he said Tayyeb….
– One day, the Shah said to Tayyeb: This time, I’ll give you a huge amount of money to ruin a ceremony. He said: Where?… who is he?… The Shah said: Such an such place, Seyyed Rouhullah Khomein.
– Tayyeb was taken a back and said: Who?! Did you say he is Seyyed?
– The Shah said: Yeah,… Tayyeb said: I don’t do that.
– We don’t engage with the Excellency Zahra’s (P.H.) offspring…!
– The Shah said: I order you to be tortured and killed.
– Tayyeb said: Do everything you want. I don’t engage with the Excellency Zahra’s (P.H.) offspring.
– He was tortured too much that he became thin.
– When he was to be tortured, a person said: Tayyeb, don’t you have any message for Imam?…
– He said. I don’t know Seyyed Rouhullah. Just say to him to intercede me at futurity.
– When Tayyeb’s message was taken to Imam, Imam said: Tayyeb doesn’t need my intercession. He will intercede the nation in the day of judgement.
– So, Tayyeb was merited although he didn’t pray and be fast for 60 years because he was polite in the presence of the Excellency Zahra (P.H.)
– The scholars of Qom city gathered and prayed and fasted his postponed prayers fasts…
The method and martyrdom and martyrdom of Martyr Tayyeb Hajj Rezaee
Mr. Hussein Shah Husseini, one of the political activists of 1320s on, has interview with Jam-e-Jam and expressed in details about late Hajj Ismaeel Rezaee and Tayyeb Hajj Rezaece published in the magazine in Mehr 1381 S.H.
During 15 of Khordad movement, Tayyeb is a famous character who doesn’t need to be described. Hajj Ismaeel Rezaee was one of the trustees of market was captured during the adventure of 15 of Khordad along with Tayyeb and both were martyred in an oppressed manner.
Mr. Shah Husseini pointed out the prominent social services of Hajg Ismael cooperated with late Tayyeb. Mr. Shah Husseini said: “One of the services of Hajj Ismaeel which was very important is that for the first time during the Shah’s period of time, the people Tehran held a ceremony for the birthday of Imam of the Time (P.H.) in front of Pepsi Cola company (belonged to the Baha’is on half of the lunar month of Shaban from 24th of Isfand square (Enghelab) to the end of Pepsi Cola. It was illuminated and the cost was spent by Hajj Ismaeel Rezaee… It happened in 1340 S.H. when the sources of religious authority boycotted consuming, buying and selling Pepsi Cola – due to its dependence on the deviant cult of Bahaism which was spending its income to campaign against religious beliefs of Shias – Hajj Ismaeel managed a demonstration against the Baha’is. Also, Hajj Ismaeel played a key role in establishing the mosque called Imam of the Time (P.H.) there. I think the main reason for arresting him was confronting against the Baha’is in Pepsi Cola proposition and the of the mosque. According to SAVAK documents in Shiraz city (related Bahman 1344 S.H.) Sabet Pasal (the famous Baha’i capitalist) was considered as the main agent in the execution of Tayyeb.
۱۱th of Aban is the martyrdom anniversary of Tayyeb Hajj Rezaee and Hajj Ismaeel Rezaee, famous people buried in the holy Shrine of Abdul Azim Al-Hassani (P.H.)
