Muhammad ibn Ya'qub quoted on the authority of some of the companions on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid on the authority of Ali ibn al-Hikam on the authority of al-Hassan ibn al-Sari that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said
“Do not write “In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful” for so and so on the back on an envelope, but it is fine to write “for so and so” on back of the envelope.”
[محمد بن يعقوب عن عدة من أصحابنا عن أحمد بن محمد بن خالد عن علي بن الحكم] عن الحسن بن السري قال
لا تكتب " بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم " لفلان، ولا بأس أن تكتب لفلان على ظهر الكتاب.
