چکیده:
With the beginning of Sughra's absence and serious limitations in the communication between Imam Mahdi and the Shiites, correspondence was the most dominant way of seeking advice, meeting needs, and obtaining duties in various fields from the Imam. The acceptability and validity of the correspondence and acting on its content required the confidence of the Shiites in the correspondence. The factors and roots of people's confidence in correspondences were relying on clear signs and clear evidences that the passage of time and distance from them made the audience face questions. It seems that various factors such as: familiarity of scientists with the line of correspondence; Submission of many correspondences by primary and secondary attorneys; Confirmation and acknowledgment of elders regarding correspondence; Possession of correspondence with special knowledge and their realization; Non-contradiction of the content with the text of religion; It has caused the Shiites to believe in the correspondences and confirm that they were issued by Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him)

It seems that various factors such as: the familiarity of scholars with the handwriting of the Tawqi'at; the presentation and special preservation of many Tawqi'at by the primary and secondary deputies; the confirmation and validation of the elders regarding the Tawqi'at; the possession of special knowledge by the Tawqi'at and their realization; and the agreement of the content of the Tawqi'at with the text of religion; have been the causes of the Shiites' belief in the Tawqi'at and the verification of their issuance from Imam Mahdi (aj).
This confirmation has been reflected in numerous reports and has been communicated in private and public meetings of the notables, groups of scholars, and even among the general Shiite population, stating that Uthman bin Sa'id and his son Muhammad were the two trustworthy deputies of the Imam and were reliable and trusted by him (Kulayni, 1429 AH: Vol. 2, 125; Tusi, 1425 AH: 354-355).
Conclusion This research sought to explain and revive the evidence and signs of the Shiites' belief in the Tawqi'at during the Minor Occultation of Imam Mahdi (aj), which, based on the previous points, reached the following results: Factors such as "the familiarity of scholars and Shiite notables with the handwriting of the Tawqi'at; the presentation of Tawqi'at by the Four Deputies and the confirmation and verification of religious leaders regarding the Tawqi'at; the possession of unseen knowledge by the Tawqi'at and their fulfillment; and the conformity of the content of the Tawqi'at or its lack of contradiction with the text of religion" caused the Shiites to believe in the Tawqi'at.
