In recent weeks, Ahmadinejad’s aides have denied another rumor that he ordered his cabinet to write a pact of loyalty with the 12th Imam and throw it down a well near the holy city of Qom, where some believe the Imam is hiding. Those who give credence to the rumor point to an early decision of his cabinet to allocate $17 million to renovate the Jamkaran mosque, where devotees of the 12th Imam have prayed for centuries.
近几周来，艾哈迈迪内贾德的助手否定了另一个传闻，即他命令其全体阁员写一份效忠十二世伊玛姆的契约，将其投入圣城库姆附近的一口井中，据称该井为伊玛姆的藏身之所。相信这种传闻的人所指的是总统内阁早先的一个决定，即拨款1,700万美元修缮Jamkaran清真寺，十二世伊玛姆的信徒几百年来一直在此做祷告。
