The Báb then delivered into his hands a letter He had
written to Hájí Mírzá Siyyid ‘Alí, His maternal uncle, in which He had informed
him of His safe return to Búshihr. He also entrusted him with a copy of the
Khasá’il-i-Sab‘ih, [Literally meaning “The Seven Qualifications”] a treatise in
which He had set forth the essential requirements from those who had attained
to the knowledge of the new Revelation and had recognised its claim. As He bade
Quddús His last farewell, He asked him to convey His greetings to each of His
loved ones in Shíráz. (Chapter 8, ‘The Dawn-Breakers’)
