Source (Persian)
و در شبی از شبها در عالم رؤيا از جميع جهات اينکلمه عليا اصغا شد انّا ننصرک بک و بقلمک لا تحزن عمّا ورد عليک و لا تخف انّک من الآمنين سوف يبعث اللّه کنوز الارض و هم رجال ينصرونک بک و باسمک الّذی به احيا اللّه افئدة العارفين *
Shoghi Effendi Translation
One night, in a dream, these exalted words were heard on every side: "Verily, We shall render Thee victorious by Thyself and by Thy Pen. Grieve Thou not for that which hath befallen Thee, neither be Thou afraid, for Thou art in safety. Erelong will God raise up the treasures of the earth - men who will aid Thee through Thyself and through Thy Name, wherewith God hath revived the hearts of such as have recognized Him."
