باری ای سلمان بر احبّای حقّ القا کن که در کلمات احدی بدیدهٴ اعتراض ملاحظه منمائید بلکه بدیدهٴ شفقت و مرحمت مشاهده کنید مگر آن نفوسی که الیوم در ردّ الله الواح ناریّه نوشته بر جمیع نفوس حتم است که بر ردّ من ردّ علی الله آنچه قادر باشند بنویسند کذلک قدّر من لدن مقتدر قدیر چه که الیوم نصرت حقّ بذکر و بیان است نه بسیف و امثال آن کذلک نزّلنا من قبل و حینئذ ان انتم تعرفون فوالّذی ینطق حینئذ فی کلّ شیء بأنّه لا اله الّا هو که اگر نفسی در ردّ من ردّ علی الله کلمه‌ئی مرقوم دارد مقامی باو عنایت شود که جمیع اهل ملأ اعلی حسرت آن مقام برند و جمیع اقلام ممکنات از ذکر آن مقام عاجز و السن کائنات از وصفش قاصر چه که هر نفسی الیوم بر این امر اقدس ارفع امنع مستقیم شود مقابل است با کلّ من فی السّموات و الأرض و کان الله علی ذلک لشهید و علیم

Shoghi Effendi Translation

Warn, O Salmán, the beloved of the one true God, not to view with too critical an eye the sayings and writings of men. Let them rather approach such sayings and writings in a spirit of open-mindedness and loving sympathy. Those men, however, who, in this Day, have been led to assail, in their inflammatory writings, the tenets of the Cause of God, are to be treated differently. It is incumbent upon all men, each according to his ability, to refute the arguments of those that have attacked the Faith of God. Thus hath it been decreed by Him Who is the All-Powerful, the Almighty. He that wisheth to promote the Cause of the one true God, let him promote it through his pen and tongue, rather than have recourse to sword or violence. We have, on a previous occasion, revealed this injunction, and We now confirm it, if ye be of them that comprehend. By the righteousness of Him Who, in this Day, crieth within the inmost heart of all created things: “God, there is none other God besides Me!” If any man were to arise to defend, in his writings, the Cause of God against its assailants, such a man, however inconsiderable his share, shall be so honored in the world to come that the Concourse on high would envy his glory. No pen can depict the loftiness of his station, neither can any tongue describe its splendor. For whosoever standeth firm and steadfast in this holy, this glorious, and exalted Revelation, such power shall be given him as to enable him to face and withstand all that is in heaven and on earth. Of this God is Himself a witness.
