Kitáb-i-Íqán — §115

Persian source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 115 of 291.

Source (Persian)

اين است که آن حضرت فرمود: "ما اُوذِيَ نَبِيٌّ بِمِثلِ ما اوذيتُ." و در فرقان نسبت ها که دادند و اذيّت ها که به آن حضرت نمودند همه مذکور است. فَارجِعُوا إلَيهِ لَعَلّکُم بِمَواقعِ الاَمرِ تَطَّلِعُونَ. حتّی قسمی بر آن حضرت سخت شد که احدی با آن حضرت و اصحاب او چندی معاشرت نمی نمود و هر نفسی که خدمت آن حضرت می رسيد کمال اذيّت را به او وارد می نمودند.

Shoghi Effendi Translation

For this reason did Muhammad cry out: “No Prophet of God hath suffered such harm as I have suffered.” And in the Qur’án are recorded all the calumnies and reproaches uttered against Him, as well as all the afflictions which He suffered. Refer ye thereunto, that haply ye may be informed of that which hath befallen His Revelation. So grievous was His plight, that for a time all ceased to hold intercourse with Him and His companions. Whoever associated with Him fell a victim to the relentless cruelty of His enemies.
