Source (Arabic)
"نطفه يک ساله يوم ظهور او اقوی است از کلّ مَن فی البيان" و همچنين ميفرمايد: "و قد کتبت جوهرة فی ذکره و هُو أنّه لا يشار باشارتی و لا بما نزل فی البيان" اگر نفسی در بحور مستوره در اين
Shoghi Effendi Translation
He Who is the Heart and Center of the Bayán hath written: “The germ that holdeth within itself the potentialities of the Revelation that is to come is endowed with a potency superior to the combined forces of all those who follow Me.” And, again, He saith: “Of all the tributes I have paid to Him Who is to come after Me, the greatest is this, My written confession, that no words of Mine can adequately describe Him, nor can any reference to Him in My Book, the Bayán, do justice to His Cause.”
