I swear by the most holy Essence of God—exalted and
glorified be He—that in the Day of the appearance of Him Whom God shall make
manifest a thousand perusals of the Bayán cannot equal the perusal of a single
verse to be revealed by Him Whom God shall make manifest… And know thou of a
certainty that every letter revealed in the Bayán is solely intended to evoke
submission unto Him Whom God shall make manifest, for it is He Who hath
revealed the Bayán prior to His Own manifestation.
