Source (Arabic)
... تاللّه الحقّ تلک أيّام فيها امتحن اللّه کلّ النّبيّين والمرسلين ثمّ الّذين هم کانوا خلف سُرادق العِصمة وفسطاط العظمة وخِباء العزّة وکيف هؤلاء المشرکين ...
Shoghi Effendi Translation
By the righteousness of God! These are the days in which God hath proved the hearts of the entire company of His Messengers and Prophets, and beyond them those that stand guard over His sacred and inviolable Sanctuary, the inmates of the celestial Pavilion and dwellers of the Tabernacle of Glory. How severe, therefore, the test to which they who join partners with God must needs be subjected!
