While on board the boat the Báb dictated to Quddus “such prayers and epistles as He felt inspired to reveal”
High seas and the complete absence of comfort could neither
interfere with the regularity of His devotions nor perturb the peacefulness of
His meditations and prayers. Oblivious of the storm that raged about Him, and
undeterred by the sickness which had seized His fellow-pilgrims, He continued
to occupy His time in dictating to Quddús such prayers and epistles as He felt
inspired to reveal.
