This report shows it well how much the caliphate government had put the connection of Imam with Shi'a under surveillance. However, Imam (a) and his followers met each other in any opportunities and there have been covers for such contacts. One of the best means of communication between Imam (a) and Shi'a has been correspondences, cases of which have been frequently mentioned in different sources. | This report shows it well how much the caliphate government had put the connection of Imam with Shi'a under surveillance.

Strict limitations of the caliphs on the life of Imam (a) made him benefit from agents to communicate with Shi'a, among whom was 'Aqid, the special servant of Imam (a) who was raised by Imam (a) and delivered many of his letters to Shi'a. Another agent was a person whose kunya was Gharib Abu al-Adyan who was another servant of Imam (a) and delivered some of the letters. However, [['Uthman b. Sa'id]] was a particular person in some [[Twelver Shi'a]] sources who was called [[Bab]] (representative and the connection with Imam (a)). Upon entering the age of [[Minor Occultation]] after Imam al-'Askari (a) was martyred, 'Uthman b. Sa'id became the first [[special deputy]] of [[Imam al-Mahdi (a)]]. | Strict limitations of the caliphs on the life of Imam (a) made him benefit from agents to communicate with Shi'a, among whom was 'Aqid, the special servant of Imam (a) who was raised by Imam (a) and delivered many of his letters to Shi'a.<ref>al-Shaykh al-Tusi, ''al-Ghayba'', 1411AH, p. 272</ref> Another agent was a person whose kunya was Gharib Abu al-Adyan who was another servant of Imam (a) and delivered some of the letters.<ref>al-Shaykh al-Saduq, ''Kamal al-din'', p. 475</ref> However, [['Uthman b.
