Translations:On Dokuzuncu Mektup/222/en
Each of the following examples of miracles is narrated, as authentic, through various – sometimes as many as sixteen – chains of transmission. Most of them occurred in the presence of large assemblies, and were narrated by many truthful persons of good repute from among those present. For example, from among seventy men who partook of four handfuls of food and were filled,(*[1])one relates the incident and the others do not contradict him. Their silence thus indicates their confirmation.
