He then proceeded to say: “Now is the time to reveal the commentary on the Súrih of Joseph. [of Qur’an]” He [the Báb] took up His pen and with incredible rapidity revealed the entire Súrih of Mulk, the first chapter of His commentary on the Súrih of Joseph. The overpowering effect of the manner in which He wrote was heightened by the gentle intonation of His voice which accompanied His writing. Not for one moment did He interrupt the flow of the verses which streamed from His pen. Not once did He pause till the Súrih of Mulk was finished. I sat enraptured by the magic of His voice and the sweeping force of His revelation.”
- Mulla Husayn (Quoted by Nabil in ‘The Dawn-Breakers’, translated and edited by Shoghi Effendi)
