According to Ahlul Bayt (A) News Agency – Kuwaiti press wrote what Grand Ayatollah Sistani in meeting with a group of Kuwaiti pilgrims in Najaf wants Shia residents in Persian Gulf countries to maintain security and National Unity and avoid sectarian clashes.
Grand Ayatollah Sistani also in a reaction about insulting him by Sheikh Arifi said: “If what he or any other person has said about me is true, I want you to pray for forgiveness for me and if is not right, pray for forgiveness for anyone who insult and abuse me and other persons.”
He added: “The believers have to expand the love culture and repeat “I love you” to their believing brothers. It is also necessary to preserve Islamic unity. ”
It is worth noting that one of Wahhabi hard-line cleric called Sheikh Mohammad Arifi more than a month ago in response to requests by some parties of Ayatollah Sistani for mediation to resolve the crisis in Yemen, in a hubristic manner called Grand Ayatollah Sistani as a “debauchee” and “infidel”.
