Mention of the Signed Letters (tawqi‘at) Issued by the qa'im
22- قَالَ وَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْحَسَنِ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ قَالَ: كَتَبَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفَرَجِ الرُّخَّجِيُّ فِي أَشْيَاءَ وَ كَتَبَ فِي مَوْلُودٍ وُلِدَ لَهُ يَسْأَلُ أَنْ يُسَمَّى فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ الْجَوَابُ فِيمَا سَأَلَ وَ لَمْ يُكْتَبْ إِلَيْهِ فِي الْمَوْلُودِ شَيْءٌ فَمَاتَ الْوَلَدُ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ قَالَ وَ جَرَى بَيْنَ قَوْمٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا مُجْتَمِعِينَ عَلَى كَلَامٍ فِي مَجْلِسٍ فَكَتَبَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ شَرْحَ مَا جَرَى فِي الْمَجْلِسِ.
22 - He said: and narrated to me Abul Hasan Ja’far bin Ahmad that he said:
“Ibrahim bin Muhammad bin Faraj al-Rukhaji wrote a number of things and about a newly born baby and requested a name for him. The answer came to him about the things he had asked, but there was no mention about the baby. The fact was that the baby died. All praise belongs of Allah, the Lord of the worlds.”
He said: There had been a discussion amongst some men of our congregation. A letter came to one of them, explaining what had taken place in the gathering.
