Persian source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 176 of 268.
Source (Persian)
اليوم اين مظلوم از ان جناب و سائر علماء که از کاس علم الهی نوشيدهاند و از کلمات انوار نيّر عدل منوّرند مسئلت مينمايد نفسی را معيّن فرمايند من دون اطّلاع احدی و او را به اين جهات بفرستند و چندی در جزيره قبرص توقّف نمايد و با ميرزا يحيی معاشر شود شايد بر اصل امر و مصدر اوامر و احکام الهی اگاه گردد *
Shoghi Effendi Translation
In this day, this Wronged One requesteth thee and the other divines who have drunk of the cup of the knowledge of God, and are illumined by the shining words of the Day-Star of Justice, to appoint some person, without informing any one, and despatch him to these regions, and enable him to remain a while in the island of Cyprus, and associate with Mírzá Yaḥyá, perchance he may become aware of the fundamentals of this Faith and of the source of the Divine laws and commandments.
