He narrated a Hadith saying that above any good thing there is a better one, except martyrdom above which there is no goodness.
Ayatollah Hashemzadeh-Harisi praised the greatness of martyrs and said in order to pay the debts to the martyrs, attempts should be made to strengthen the Islamic Establishment and move the country forward to become an economic, scientific, industrial and political superpower.
