Source (Arabic)
و اين صفات مختصّ ببعضی دون بعضی نبوده و نيست بلکه جميع انبيای مقرّبين و اصفيای مقدّسين باين صفات موصوف و باين اسماء موسومند نهايت بعضی در بعضی مراتب اشدّ ظهورا و اعظم نوراً ظاهر ميشوند چنانچه ميفرمايد تلک الرّسل فضّلنا بعضهم علی بعض
Shoghi Effendi Translation
These attributes of God are not, and have never been, vouchsafed specially unto certain Prophets, and withheld from others. Nay, all the Prophets of God, His well-favored, His holy and chosen Messengers are, without exception, the bearers of His names, and the embodiments of His attributes. They only differ in the intensity of their revelation, and the comparative potency of their light. Even as He hath revealed: “Some of the Apostles We have caused to excel the others.”
