In the Súriy-i-Sabr,[Surih
of Patience] revealed as far back as the year 1863, on the very first day of
His arrival in the garden of Ridván, He thus affirms: “God hath sent down His
Messengers to succeed to Moses and Jesus, and He will continue to do so till
‘the end that hath no end’; so that His grace may, from the heaven of Divine
bounty, be continually vouchsafed to mankind.”
