Tacit and Explicit Testimony as proof of abu al-Hassan al-Rida’s عليه السلام Divine Authority over the people after abu al-Hassan Musa عليه السلام
8ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ وَعَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ جَمِيعاً عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْمُخْتَارِ قَالَ خَرَجَتْ إِلَيْنَا أَلْوَاحٌ مِنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَهُوَ فِي الْحَبْسِ عَهْدِي إِلَى أَكْبَرِ وُلْدِي أَنْ يَفْعَلَ كَذَا وَأَنْ يَفْعَلَ كَذَا وَفُلانٌ لا تُنِلْهُ شَيْئاً حَتَّى أَلْقَاكَ أَوْ يَقْضِيَ الله عَلَيَّ الْمَوْتَ.
8. Ahmad ibn Mihran has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ali from Muhammad ibn Sinan and Ali ibn al-Hakam all from al-Husayn ibn al-Mukhtar who has said the following. “Certain tablets came out to us from abu al-Hassan عليه السلام, when he was in jail, that said, “My instructions and directives to my eldest son to do so and so. As far so and so is concerned, do not give him anything until I will meet you or Allah will decree otherwise.”
