…consider the
pervading power of those drops of the blood of Husayn [1] which besprinkled the
earth. What ascendancy and influence hath the dust itself, through the
sacredness and potency of that blood, exercised over the bodies and souls of
men! So much so, that he who sought deliverance from his ills, was healed by
touching the dust of that holy ground, and whosoever, wishing to protect his
property, treasured with absolute faith and understanding, a little of that
holy earth within his house, safeguarded all his possessions.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Iqan’)
[1] Iman Husayn Who
was martyred
