First, it was claimed that a dog has gone to Imam Reza’s shrine. Then, a not-so-famous newspaper in Tehran announced that it was all a trick (see). Who did it? Entekhab states that the same newspaper wrote “one mean guy and two majestic servant’s of Imam Reza” (باندي مركب از يك شياد ودوتن از خادمان بزرگوار Øريم رضوي ). Hence, there was two bad majestic ugly servants of the holy Imam engaged in this story! See here for a glorious text containing many high-profile Persian words and phrases, finishing with a poem, including respectful reasons that dogs are not dirty, or “Najes” as they say. It makes me off.
