باری ای احبّآء اللّه مرکز نقض میرزا محمّد علی بسبب این انحرافات لاتحصی بنصّ قاطع الهی ساقط گشت و از شجرۀ مبارکه منفصل شد و ما ظلمناهم ولکن کانوا انفسهم یظلمون
Shoghi Effendi Translation
In short, O ye beloved of the Lord! The Centre of Sedition, Mírzá Muḥammad-‘Alí, in accordance with the decisive words of God and by reason of his boundless transgression, hath grievously fallen and been cut off from the Holy Tree. Verily, we wronged them not, but they have wronged themselves!
