Source (Arabic)
قل ان انصفوا یا اولی الألباب من لا انصاف له لا انسانیّة له حقّ عالم است بکلّ نفوس و ما عندهم حلم حقّ سبب تجرّی نفوس شده چه که هتک استار قبل از میقات نمیفرمایند و نظر بسبقت رحمت ظهورات غضبیّه منع شده لذا اکثری از ناس آنچه سرّاً مرتکبند حقّ را از آن غافل دانسته‌اند لا ونفسه العلیم الخبیر کل در مرآت علمیّه مشهود و مبرهن و واضح قل لک الحمد یا ستّار عیوب الضّعفآء و لک الحمد یا غفّار ذنوب الغفلآء
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Say: Observe equity in your judgment, ye men of understanding heart! He that is unjust in his judgment is destitute of the characteristics that distinguish man’s station. He Who is the Eternal Truth knoweth well what the breasts of men conceal. His long forbearance hath emboldened His creatures, for not until the appointed time is come will He rend any veil asunder. His surpassing mercy hath restrained the fury of His wrath, and caused most people to imagine that the one true God is unaware of the things they have privily committed. By Him Who is the All-Knowing, the All-Informed! The mirror of His knowledge reflecteth, with complete distinctness, precision and fidelity, the doings of all men. Say: Praise be to Thee, O Concealer of the sins of the weak and helpless! Magnified be Thy name, O Thou that forgivest the heedless ones that trespass against Thee!
