The Báb refers to her in his commentary on the Súrih of
Joseph (Súrih of Qarabat). The following is A. L. M. Nicolas’ translation of
the passage in question:
“In truth I have become betrothed before the throne of God
with Sárá, that is to say, the dearly beloved, because ‘dearly beloved’ is
derived from Dearly Beloved (the Dearly Beloved is Muhammad which signifies
that Sárá was a Siyyid). In truth I have taken the angels of heaven and those
who dwell in Paradise as witnesses of our betrothal.” (Preface to A. L. M.
Nicolas’ “Le Bayán Persan,” vol. 2, pp. 10–11.)
