Source (Arabic)
(٦٧) ﴿ يَا ابْنَ الْجَمَالِ ﴾
وَرُوحِي وَعِنايَتِي ثُمَّ رَحْمَتِي وَجَمالِي، كُلُّ ما نَزَّلْتُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ لِسانِ الْقُدْرَةِ وَكَتَبْتُهُ بِقَلَمِ القُوَّةِ قَدْ نَزَّلْناهُ عَلى قَدْرِكَ وَلَحْنِكَ لَا عَلَى شَأْنِي وَلَحْنِي.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
(67) O SON OF BEAUTY!
By My spirit and by My favor! By My mercy and by My beauty! All that I have revealed unto thee with the tongue of power, and have written for thee with the pen of might, hath been in accordance with thy capacity and understanding, not with My state and the melody of My voice.
