Praise be unto God! One of the imputations of the enemies is this: That-- we seek refuge in God-- we deny the validity and truth of the Sun of Guidance, the Lamp of the Supreme Concourse, the messenger of the Almighty, His Highness Mohammed Mostafa-- upon Him be greeting and praise!-- and that-- God forbid!-- we have written books in His refutation. Woe unto those who have arisen to spread this great falsehood and calumny! However, all the friends of God who are informed of the mysteries know that his exiled and imprisoned one would readily sacrifice his life at the dust of the Prophet's feet. Furthermore, the Blessed Perfection-- may my life be a sacrifice to His beloved ones-- in the book of Ighan, hath established with invincible proofs and clear arguments the prophethood of His Highness the Messenger-- may my life be a sacrifice to Him!-- and also His Highness the Supreme (the Bab) hath invoked Him (Mohammed) in many supplications. Notwithstanding all these evidences, the unjust ones are crying out and secretly spreading the falsehood that we-- God forbid!-- are His deniers and the unfaithful friends (nakzeen) acknowledge these erroneous imputations. Praise be to God! If we deny the messengers and prophets of God, what have we to say for ourselves? Glory be unto Thee, O My God! Verily this is a great calumny!
(402:2)
