The Special Deputies

1- Rawandi says:
Imam Zamana (a) had appointed his representatives to collect the religious dues and to disseminate the religious laws and the first deputy of the Imam was Shaykh Uthman bin Saeed Amari. After his passing away, Imam Zamana (a) appointed his son, Muhammad Ibne Uthman as his representative.
After him Abul Qasim Husain Ibne Rauh was appointed as the representative of the Imam and after him Ali Ibne Muhammad Saymoori became the special deputy of the Imam. With his death, the system of special deputyship of the Imam ended. Whatever things people used to bring to the special deputies the latter used to inform about the special signs of the senders, which they used to receive from the Imam of the Time (a).
2- Abu Ja’far Aswad says
Abu Ja’far Amari had a grave prepared for himself during his lifetime. When I asked him regarding that, he said: I received order from Imam Zamana (a) to gather my affairs.
He passed away two months after that.
3- Muhammad bin Ali bin Husain says:
“When Abu Ja’far Muhammad bin Uthman Amari Samman (r) was in his last moments, I was sitting near his head and asking him questions and talking to him. Abul Qasim Husain bin Rauh was sitting at his feet. Amari turned to me and said:
I have been commanded to make a bequest in favor of Abul Qasim Husain bin Rauh.”
The narrator says: I got up from the head side, took the hand of Abul Qasim and seated him where I was sitting, and I myself went and sat down in his place.”
4- Muhammad bin Ali bin Mitteel said: “There was a woman called Zainab from the people of Aba. She was married to Muhammad Ibne Abdul Abi. She had three hundred dinars. She came to my uncle, Ja’far Ibne Muhammad Ibne Matil and said, “I want you to give this money from me to Abul Qasim Ibne Rauh.”
My uncle sent me with her to translate for her. When I entered upon Abul Qasim, he addressed her with an eloquent tongue and said, “Zainab, how are you and what is the news of your children?” She did not need my translation. She gave him the money and came back.

Incident of Ibne Mahziyar Ahwazi

Ali Ibne Ibrahim bin Mahziyar narrates one year when the Hajj season arrived, I prepared for the journey and set out to Medina. When I reached Medina, I inquired from the people about the descendants of Imam Hasan Askari (a), but could not get any information. I was very much worried and at last set out for Mecca. On the way, one day at Johfa I headed for Ghadeer, which is at a distance of four miles from Johfa. I reached there and prayed in the Masjid and after that I supplicated Almighty Allah very fervently; but the aim was not fulfilled there also. So I went to Asfan and thus passing each stage in turn, reached Mecca. I stayed there for some days and was engrossed in Tawaf and other devotions. One night, when I was doing the Tawaf, I noticed an extremely handsome and fragrant young man walking about and doing the Tawaf of the Kaaba. Some feelings arose in my heart; I moved towards him and touched him. He asked: Where do you belong to? I said: Iraq. He asked: Where in Iraq? I said: ...
