He Who hath revealed the Qur’án unto Muhammad, the Apostle
of God, ordaining in the Faith of Islám that which was pleasing unto Him, hath
likewise revealed the Bayán, in the manner ye have been promised, unto Him Who
is your Qá’im, [1] your Guide, your Mihdí, [2] your Lord, Him Whom ye acclaim
as the manifestation of God’s most excellent titles. Verily the equivalent of
that which God revealed unto Muhammad during twenty-three years, hath been
revealed unto Me within the space of two days and two nights. However, as
ordained by God, no distinction is to be drawn between the two. He, in truth,
hath power over all things.
