Source (Arabic)

و از جملهٔ ادلّه بر اثبات این امر آنکه در هر عهد و عصر که غیب هویّه در هیکل بشریّه ظاهر میشد بعضی از مردمی که معروف نبودند و علاقه بدنیا و جهتی نداشته‌اند بضیاء شمس نبوّت مستضیء و بانوار قمر هدایت مهتدی میشدند و بلقآء الله فائز میگشتند لهذا این بود که علمای عصر و اغنیای عهد استهزاء مینمودند چنانچه از لسان آن گمراهان میفرماید: ﴿فَقَالَ المَلَأُ الَّذِینَ کَفَرُوا مِن قَومِهِ مَا نَراکَ إِلَّا بَشَرًا مِثْلَنَا وَمَا نَراکَ اتَّبَعَکَ إِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ هُمْ أَرَاذِلَنَا بَادِيَ الرَّأْيِ وَمَا نَرَی لَکُم عَلَیْنَا مِن فَضْلٍ بَلْ نَظُنَّکُمْ کَاذِبِینَ﴾، اعتراض مینمودند و بآن مظاهر قدسیّه میگفتند که متابعت شما نکرده مگر اراذل ما که اعتنائی بشأن آنها نیست و مقصودشان این بوده که علما و اغنیا و معارف قوم بشما ایمان نیاوردند و باین دلیل و امثال آن استدلال بر بطلان من له الحقّ مینمودند

Shoghi Effendi Translation

Amongst the proofs demonstrating the truth of this Revelation is this, that in every age and Dispensation, whenever the invisible Essence was revealed in the person of His Manifestation, certain souls, obscure and detached from all worldly entanglements, would seek illumination from the Sun of Prophethood and Moon of Divine guidance, and would attain unto the Divine Presence. For this reason, the divines of the age and those possessed of wealth, would scorn and scoff at these people. Even as He hath revealed concerning them that erred: “Then said the chiefs of His people who believed not, ‘We see in Thee but a man like ourselves; and we see not any who have followed Thee except our meanest ones of hasty judgment, nor see we any excellence in you above ourselves: nay, we deem you liars.’” They caviled at those holy Manifestations, and protested saying: “None hath followed you except the abject amongst us, those who are worthy of no attention.” Their aim was to show that no one amongst the learned, the wealthy, and the renowned believed in them. By this and similar proofs they sought to demonstrate the falsity of Him that speaketh naught but the truth.
