Thou hast made mention of the loved ones in those regions.  Praised be God, each one of them attained the honour of being remembered by the True One—­exalted is His glory—­and the names of them, one and all, flowed from the Tongue of Grandeur in the kingdom of utterance.  Great indeed is their blessedness and happiness, inasmuch as they have drunk the choice wine of revelation and inspiration from the hand of their Lord, the Compassionate, the Merciful.  We beseech God to strengthen them to manifest inflexible constancy and to summon to their aid the hosts of wisdom and utterance.  He is in truth the Mighty, the Omnipotent.  Convey my greetings to them and give them the joyful tidings that the Day-Star of remembrance hath dawned and shed its radiance from above the horizon of the bountiful favours of their Lord, the Ever-Forgiving, the All-Merciful.

Thou hast mentioned Husayn.  We have attired his temple with the robe of forgiveness and adorned his head with the crown of pardon.  It beseemeth him to pride himself among all men upon this resplendent, this radiant and manifest bounty.  Say:  Be not despondent.  After the revelation of this blessed verse it is as though thou hast been born anew from thy mother’s womb.  Say:  Thou art free from sin and error.  Truly God hath purged thee with the living waters of His utterance in His Most Great Prison.  We entreat Him—­blessed and exalted is He—­to graciously confirm thee in extolling Him and in magnifying His glory and to strengthen thee through the power of His invisible hosts.  Verily, He is the Almighty, the Omnipotent.

Thou hast made mention of the people of Tar.(19) We have set Our face toward the servants of God therein and advise them first to consider that which the Point of the Bayan hath revealed concerning this Revelation whereby all names and titles have been shaken, the idols of vain imaginings have crumbled and the Tongue of Grandeur hath, from the realm of glory, proclaimed:  By the righteousness of God!  The Hidden Treasure, the Impenetrable Mystery, hath been uncovered to men’s eyes, causing all things, whether of the past or of the future, to rejoice.  He hath said, and His word is the truth:  ’Of all the tributes I have paid to Him Who is to come after Me, the greatest is this, My written confession, that no words of Mine can adequately describe Him, nor can any reference to Him in My Book, the Bayan, do justice to His Cause.’

Moreover We counsel them to observe justice, equity, honesty, piety and that whereby both the Word of God and their own station will be exalted amongst men.  Verily I am the One Who exhorteth with justice.  Unto this beareth witness He from Whose Pen rivers of mercy have flowed and from Whose utterance fountains of living waters have streamed forth unto all created things.  Immeasurably exalted is this boundless grace; immensely blessed is this resplendent favour.
