The Báb refers to his son in his commentary on the Súrih of
Joseph. The following is A. L. M. Nicolas’ translation:
“In truth, thy son Ahmad has a refuge in the Blessed
Paradise near to the Great Fátimih.” (Súrih of Qarabat.) “Glory be to God Who
in truth has given to the ‘Delight of the Eyes,’ in her youth, a son who is
named Ahmad. Verily, we have reared this child toward God!” (Súrih of ‘Abd.)
(Preface A. L. M. Nicolas’ “Le Bayán Persan,” vol. 2, p. II.)
