Source (Arabic)
علیها صلواتي ورحمتي وتکبیري وبهائي وإنّي بنفسی لأکون دیّة إبنها وإذا في سرادق عظمتي وکبریائي بوجه تستضيء منه الحوریّات في الغرفات ثمّ أهل الفردوس وأهل مداین القدس لو یراه أحد یقول إنّ هذا إلّا ملك کریم...
Shoghi Effendi Translation
On her be My blessings, and My mercy, and My praise, and My glory. I Myself shall atone for the loss of her son — a son who now dwelleth within the tabernacle of My majesty and glory, and whose face beameth with a light that envelopeth with its radiance the Maids of Heaven in their celestial chambers, and beyond them the inmates of My Paradise, and the denizens of the Cities of Holiness. Were any eye to gaze on his face, he would exclaim: “Lo, this is no other than a noble angel!”
