Source (Persian)
* مقصود از علماء در اين موارد که ذکر شده نفوسی هستند که خود را در ظاهر بلباس علم می‌ارايند و در باطن از ان محروم * در ذکر اين مقام در لوح حضرت سلطان چند فقره از فقرات کلمات مکنونه که باسم صحيفه فاطميّه صلوات اللّه عليها از قلم ابهی ظاهر ذکر ميشود *
Shoghi Effendi Translation
By "divines" in the passage cited above is meant those men who outwardly attire themselves with the raiment of knowledge, but who inwardly are deprived therefrom. In this connection, We quote from the Tablet addressed to His Majesty the Sháh, certain passages from the "Hidden Words" which were revealed by the Abhá Pen under the name of the "Book of Fáṭimih," the blessings of God be upon her!
