The Birth of the Possessor (of Divine Authority) عليه السلام

20ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَمَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ آبَةَ شَيْئاً يُوصِلُهُ وَنَسِيَ سَيْفاً بِ‏آبَةَ فَأَنْفَذَ مَا كَانَ مَعَهُ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ مَا خَبَرُ السَّيْفِ الَّذِي نَسِيتَهُ.
20. ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad said: A man from the people of Ābah carried something to deliver (to the office of the Imam عليه السلام), but forgot a sword in Ābah. He sent what he had with him (the delivery was made), and a letter was written to him, asking: "What about the sword that you forgot?"
