[Addressing Mullá Husayn:] “As to Myself, I shall,
accompanied by Quddús and My Ethiopian servant, proceed on My pilgrimage to
Hijáz. I shall join the company of the pilgrims of Fárs, who will shortly be
sailing for that land. I shall visit Mecca and Medina, and there fulfil the
mission with which God has entrusted Me. God willing, I shall return hither by
the way of Kúfih, in which place I hope to meet you. If it be decreed
otherwise, I shall ask you to join Me in Shíráz.”- The Bab (Quoted by Nabil, Chapter 3, 'The Dawn-Breakers')
