“‘During those days I was, on several occasions, summoned by
the Báb to visit Him. He would send at night-time that same Ethiopian servant
to the masjid, bearing to me His most loving message of welcome. Every time I
visited Him, I spent the entire night in His presence. Wakeful until the dawn,
I sat at His feet fascinated by the charm of His utterance and oblivious of the
world and its cares and pursuits. How rapidly those precious hours flew by! At
daybreak I reluctantly withdrew from His presence. How eagerly in those days I
looked forward to the approach of the evening hour! With what feelings of
sadness and regret I beheld the dawning of day!’”
- Mulla Husayn (Quoted by
Nabil in chapter 3 of ‘The Dawn-Breakers’)
