Source (Arabic)

(٦٠) ﴿ ای دوستان ﴾ براستی ميگويم که جميع آنچه در قلوب مستور نموده‌ايد نزد ما چون روز واضح و ظاهر و هويداست و لکن ستر آنرا سبب جود و فضل ماست نه استحقاق شما *

(60) O FRIENDS! Verily I say, whatsoever ye have concealed within your hearts is to Us open and manifest as the day; but that it is hidden is of Our grace and favor, and not of your deserving.
