Source (Arabic)
الرّحمن هنيئًا لكم يا أهل البهآء تاللّه أنتم الفائزون هذا ما فاز به المقرّبون وإنّه لمآء مسكوب الّذي وُعدتم به في الفرقان ثمّ في البيان جزآء من ربّكم الرّحمن طوبى للشّاربين
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Drink with healthy relish, O people of Bahá. Ye are indeed they with whom it shall be well. This is what they who have near access to God have attained. This is the flowing water ye were promised in the Qur’án, and later in the Bayán, as a recompense from your Lord, the God of Mercy. Blessed are they that quaff it.
