“Know that the benevolence of the Dhikr Sublime is great, O
dearly beloved! Because it is the benevolence which comes from God, the
Beloved. Thou art not like other women if thou obeyest God with regard to the
Dhikr Sublime. Know the great truth of the Holy Word and glory within thyself
that thou art seated with the friend who is the Favorite of the Most High God.
Truly the glory comes to thee from God, the Wise. Be patient in the command
which comes from God concerning the Báb and his family. Verily, thy son Ahmad
has a refuge in the blessed heaven close to the great Fátimih!” (Preface to A.
L. M. Nicolas’ “Le Bayán Persan,” vol. 2, pp. 10–11.)
