Source (Persian)

* نفسی که يک لطمه در دنيا نخورده و هميشه پنج نفس از اماء اللّه نزدش بوده او را مظلوم ميگوئی و حقّ که از اوّل عمر تا بحال دست اعدا بوده و ببدترين عذابهای عالم معذّب گشته باو نسبت داده ای انچه را که يهود در حقّ مسيح نگفته * اسمع نداء المظلوم و لا تکن من الاخسرين *

Shoghi Effendi Translation

Regardest thou as one wronged he who in this world was never dealt a single blow, and who was continually surrounded by five of the handmaidens of God? And imputest thou unto the True One, Who, from His earliest years until the present day, hath been in the hands of His enemies, and been tormented with the worst afflictions in the world, such charges as the Jews did not ascribe unto Christ? Hearken unto the voice of this Wronged One, and be not of them that are in utter loss.
