transgressed the sunnat of him (Nabi, Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) who passed the night (in ibaadat worship). 2.
Until his feet complained of injury due to being swollen. 3.
And he tied and folded, on account of hunger, around his
stomach. 4. A stone beneath which is his delicate skin. 5. And high mountains of gold (tried to) tempt him. 6. Towards it, but he was (completely) disinclined due to
his high courage. 7. His piety increased in spite of his need. 8.
For verily need never prevails (overpowers) the infallible. 9.

As to Muhammad, the Apostle of God, let none among His followers who read these
pages, think for a moment that either Islam, or its Prophet, or His Book, or
His appointed Successors, or any of His authentic teachings, have been, or are
to be in any way, or to however slight a degree, disparaged. The lineage
of the Bab, the descendant of the Imam Husayn; the divers and striking
evidences, in Nabil's Narrative, of the attitude of the Herald of our Faith
towards the Founder, the Imams, and the Book of Islam; the glowing tributes
paid by Baha'u'llah in the Kitab-i-Iqan to Muhammad and His lawful Successors,
and particularly to the "peerless and incomparable" Imam Husayn; the
arguments adduced, forcibly, fearlessly, and publicly by Abdu'l-Baha, in churches
and synagogues, to demonstrate the validity of the Message of the Arabian
Prophet; and last but not least the written testimonial of the Queen of
Rumania, who, born in the Anglican faith and notwithstanding the close alliance
of her government with the Greek Orthodox Church, the state religion of her
adopted country, has, largely as a result of the perusal of these public
discourses of Abdu'l-Baha, been prompted to proclaim her recognition of the
prophetic function of Muhammad - all proclaim, in no uncertain terms, the true
attitude of the Baha'i Faith towards its parent religion.
