Source (Persian)

و در جای ديگر می فرمايد: "وَ إذَا تُتْلَی عَلَيْهِم آياتُنا بَيِّناتٍ مَا کَانَ حُجَّتَهُمْ إلّا اَنْ قَالُوا ائْتُوا بِآبائِنا إن کُنتُمْ صَادِقِيْنَ. " يعنی در وقتی که تلاوت کرده می شود بر ايشان آيات ما، نيست حجّت ايشان مگر آنکه بگويند بياوريد پدرهای ما را اگر هستيد راست گويان. مشاهده نما که چه حجّت ها بر آن رحمت های کامله واسعه می گرفتند. به آياتی که حرفی از آن اعظم است از خلق سماوات و ارض و مردگان وادی نفس و هوی را به روح ايمان زنده می فرمايد استهزاء می نمودند و می گفتند: پدرهای ما را از قبر بيرون آر. اين بود اعراض و استکبار قوم. و هر کدام از اين آيات برای کلّ من علی الارض حجّتی است محکم و برهانی است معظّم که جميع ارض را کفايت می کند لَو اَنتُم فی آياتِ اللّهِ تَتَفَکَّرُونَ. و در همين آيه مذکوره لئالی اسرار مکنون است. اگر فی الجمله دردی يافت شود دوا می رسد.

Shoghi Effendi Translation

In another passage He saith: “And when Our clear verses are recited to them, their only argument is to say, ‘Bring back our fathers, if ye speak the truth!’” Behold, what foolish evidences they sought from these Embodiments of an all-encompassing mercy! They scoffed at the verses, a single letter of which is greater than the creation of heavens and earth, and which quickeneth the dead of the valley of self and desire with the spirit of faith; and clamoured saying: “Cause our fathers to speed out of their sepulchres.” Such was the perversity and pride of that people. Each one of these verses is unto all the peoples of the world an unfailing testimony and a glorious proof of His truth. Each of them verily sufficeth all mankind, wert thou to meditate upon the verses of God. In the above-mentioned verse itself pearls of mysteries lie hidden. Whatever be the ailment, the remedy it offereth can never fail.
