According to Rahyafte (the missionaries and converts website):
Letters of the Imam of the Time (a.s.) to Shaykh Mufeed
His Eminence, the Promised Imam (a.s.) sent some letters to the Trustworthy one of Islam, the Shaykh al Mufeed. May Allah (SwT) purify his burial place of whom Shaykh Tabarsi has quoted two letters. They are as follows:
1. This letter is for the worthy brother and righteous friend, Shaykh Mufeed Abu Abdillah Muhammad Ibn Muhammad Numan, may Allah (SwT) always maintain his honor, it is from the position achieved due to the covenant taken from the people:
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
So to say: Peace be on you, O friend who is sincere in the religion of Allah (SwT) and is successful in certainty in us. We are thankful for our existence to Allah (SwT), except Whom there is no God. And we ask Allah (SwT) for blessings and mercy upon our Prophet Muhammad (S) and the Progeny of Muhammad (S). And may He always give you divine opportunity to help the truth and increase your rewards for speaking up in our favor.
We announce that we have been permitted to honor you with our letter and entrust you with responsibility of our friends who are present around you. May Almighty Allah (SwT) befriend them due to His obedience and may He suffice them in their important matters. May the Almighty Allah (SwT) help you against the pledge-breakers who have gone out of the religion of God. Then consider what I am explaining to you and convey it to those whom you trust, if Allah (SwT) wills.
If we are in such a position that we are away from the habitations of the oppressors and it is due to hidden wisdom that the Almighty Allah (SwT) has considered best for us and the believer followers of us, till the material wealth is in control of the transgressors. Inspite of all this we are perfectly cognizant of all your affairs and problems and nothing regarding you is hidden from us.
We have received information about the disgrace and humility suffered by you all due to most of you acting in opposition to the ways of your predecessors, regarding which you may not have received any information. And that we are concerned about you and we do not forget you and if this attention and favor had not been there, poverty and tension would have befallen you and your enemies would have destroyed you.
Therefore fear the Almighty Allah (SwT) and help us to save you from this mischief. Anyone whose death is near shall be killed in this mischief and one who has obtained his desire shall remain safe and this mischief is a sign of distance and proximity of our commands and prohibitions. Although the Almighty Allah (SwT) would perfect His light even if it is detestable to the disbelievers. Remain attached to dissimulation and keep away from stoking the fire of ignorance…
At the end he writes: This letter is for you, O sincere brother and friend. O loyal friend. May Allah (SwT) protect you. Keep this letter in safe custody and do not show it to anyone. Though you may convey the points mentioned therein to those whom you trust. And persuade them to act upon it, if Allah (SwT) wills.
And may Allah (SwT) bless Muhammad (S) and his Purified Progeny.
This blessed letter contains many important matters:
Firstly: Shaykh Mufeed is considered great and is praised. He is one of the pillars of Islam in knowledge, merits, piety and steadfastness in religion and its propagation. He was one who had been permitted to remain in contact with the Imam of the Age (a.s.) and that in fact, he should be an emissary of His Eminence (a.s.) among his Shias.
Secondly: In this letter, His Eminence (a.s.) has indicated that the place of his residence is away from the area of the oppressors, and that his uprising has been concealed from them. And it is only known to the Almighty and depends on His will, till the time the oppressors rule the earth, His Eminence (a.s.) would not reappear.
Thirdly: From the whole letter it becomes apparent that His Eminence (a.s.) is aware of all the aspects and conditions of his Shias and no matter is concealed for him. Then His Eminence (a.s.) is concerned for them and helps them and by the permission of Allah (SwT) keeps harm away from them. Such that if the care of His Eminence (a.s.) had not been there for the Shias they would have been surrounded by their enemies from all sides.
Second Letter of the Imam of the Time (a.s.) for Shaykh Mufeed
The second letter of His Eminence (a.s.) was received by Shaykh Mufeed (a.r) on 23 Zilhajj 412 A.H. It is as follows:
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
Peace and mercy of Allah (SwT) be upon you, O helper of religion. O one who invites to Allah (SwT) with the word of truth. We thank Allah (SwT), except Whom there is no deity, for your existence and invoke His blessings for our master and chief, Muhammad (S), the seal of the prophets and his Ahlul Bayt (a.s.). The letter inter alia says:
O sincere friend and struggler, may Allah (SwT) help you as He had helped His chosen servants in the past. I promise that if anyone from your brothers in faith acquires the fear of Allah (SwT) and pays that amount which is obligatory on him to the eligible recipient, would be safe from sorrow and calamities. But if anyone is miserly in giving away the wealth that Allah has given him temporarily he has made a loss for his children and his hereafter.
This letter written on the 1st of Shawwal in 412 A.H. by His Eminence (a.s.) contains the following in the end:
This is my letter to you; O friend the truth is inspired upon you. Keep it secret from everyone and only convey the points mentioned in it to those of our friends whom you trust. If Allah (SwT) wills, the blessings of Allah (SwT) would be in their share. Praise be to Allah (SwT) and blessings be upon our chief Muhammad (S), the Prophet and his purified Progeny.6
This letter contains some remarkable points:
In this letter, His Eminence, the Master of the Age (a.s.) has addressed Shaykh Mufeed as the helper of truth and the caller to Allah (SwT) with truth, which are some of the loftiest qualities of righteous people.
In this letter he has announced that his Shias should recite the supplication for the safety and release of His Eminence (a.s.) from oppressors and nothing would come in between the supplication from reaching the Almighty.
In this letter, His Eminence (a.s.) has commanded his Shias to observe piety and to keep away from disobedience of Allah (SwT). They must pay up their religious taxes. In the same way they should cultivate fear of Allah (SwT) and obey Allah (SwT) in the true sense. If they do thus no barrier would remain between them and His Eminence (a.s.) and they shall be endowed with the good fortune of seeing the Imam (a.s.). But their sins are barriers between the Shias and His Eminence (a.s.) and they do not allow them to have the honor of meeting the Imam.
