The behaviors of His servants are absolutely apart of His, and I don’t think that after the poisoning (or other sad situations) the light of His glory were reduced. For example, after the murder of three azalis in Akka, Bahá'u'lláh was interrogated, and He responds with great majesty, this is in the book The King of Glory:
When Bahá'u'lláh entered the Seraye, Muhammad-Javad-i-Qazvini writes, Salih Pasha, the Mutasarrif, Salim Mulki, the head of the secretariat, and other officials present stood up before Him.
Bahá'u'lláh walked in and took a seat at the top end of the room. There was utter silence until, at last, the commandant of the garrison spoke: 'Is it meet that your men should commit such a heinous deed?' To which Bahá'u'lláh replied: 'Should a soldier under your command break a rule, would you be held responsible and punished for it?' Again there was total silence until Bahá'u'lláh rose up, according to Aqa Rida, and went into another room.
(H.M. Balyuzi, Baha'u'llah - The King of Glory, p. 327)
and other day in the same context He responds:
The Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith has thus described that occasion:
When interrogated, He was asked to state His name and that of the
country from which He came. 'It is more manifest than the sun,' He 330
answered. The same question was put to Him again, to which He gave
the following reply: 'I deem it not proper to mention it. Refer
to
the farman of the government which is in your possession.' Once again
they, with marked deference, reiterated their request, whereupon
Bahá'u'lláh spoke with majesty and power these words: 'My name
is Bahá'u'lláh (Light of God), and My country is Nur (Light). Be
ye apprized of it. 'Turning then, to the Mufti, He addressed him words
of veiled rebuke, after which He spoke to the entire gathering, in
such vehement and exalted language that none made bold to answer
Him. Having quoted verses from the Suriy-i-Mulúk, He, afterwards, arose
and left the gathering. The Governor, soon after, sent word that He was
at liberty to return to His home, and apologized for what had occurred.8
(H.M. Balyuzi, Baha'u'llah - The King of Glory, p. 329)

Yes, I was referring to the behaviours of His servants that prevented the sun of His Blessed Being from being manifested unto men in all of its glory.
