The second dream of a very famous clergyman in Baha’u’llah’s ancestral district of Núr in Mazindaran

“In my second dream,” the mujtahid continued, “I found myself in a place where I beheld around me a number of coffers, each of which, it was stated, belonged to Bahá’u’lláh. As I opened them, I found them to be filled with books. Every word and letter recorded in these books was set with the most exquisite jewels. Their radiance dazzled me. I was so overpowered by their brilliance that I awoke suddenly from my dream.” 
(Chapter 5, ‘The Dawn-Breakers’)
