Call Thou to remembrance Thine arrival in the City
(Constantinople), how the Ministers of the Sulṭán thought Thee to be
unacquainted with their laws and regulations, and believed Thee to be one of
the ignorant. Say: Yes, by My Lord! I am ignorant of all things except what God
hath, through His bountiful favor, been pleased to teach Me. To this We
assuredly testify, and unhesitatingly confess it.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from
the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
