Arabic source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 218 of 729.
Source (Arabic)
... أذکر ما نزل في أرض السّرّ في السّنة الأولی لعبدنا المهدي وأخبرناه به فیما یرد علی البیت من بعد لئلّا یحزنه ما ورد من قبل من الّذي اعتدی وسرق عند ربّك علم السّموات و الأرضین
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Call thou to mind that which hath been revealed unto Mihdí, Our servant, in the first year of Our banishment to the Land of Mystery (Adrianople). Unto him have We predicted that which must befall Our House (Bag̱hdád House), in the days to come, lest he grieve over the acts of robbery and violence already perpetrated against it. Verily, the Lord, thy God, knoweth all that is in the heavens and all that is on the earth.
