Peruse thou the Kitáb-i-Íqán and that which the All-Merciful
hath sent down unto the King of Paris [Napoleon III] and to such as are like
him, that thou mayest be made aware of the things that have happened in the
past, and be persuaded that We have not sought to spread disorder in the land
after it had been well-ordered. We exhort, wholly for the sake of God, His
servants. Let him who wisheth turn unto Him, and him who wisheth turn aside.
Our Lord, the Merciful, is verily the All-Sufficing, the All-Praised.
- Baha’u’llah (From the ‘Tablet of the Proof’ [Kawh-i-Burhan] addressed to
Shaykh Muhammad Báqir, denounced by Bahá’u’lláh as the ‘Wolf’; Tablets of
Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
