“It is my wish that when the inevitable day arrives, my remains are transferred from Tehran University to Neishabur and buried at the foot of Binaloud Mountain. Khorasan is the most historic province of Iran and Neishabur is the most ancient. If my death happens outside of Iran, the body should be transferred to Iran,” a part of his will reads.
“What is left of me are books. I leave the privilege of printing and reprinting it to Ferdowsi Mausoleum. The proceeds from them, as royalties, will be spent on planting flowers and beautifying the tomb area and the road from Mashhad to Tous. I hope that these requests will be implemented well.”
