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 (a.s.), 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.”
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.
