Kitab-i-Badi/English540

Bari, where are the servants? We testify that Ali is a great character, and we testify that he is the argument of God[282] between his creation and his proof between his wilderness, the manifestation of his command in his country, and the beginning of glory among his servants. And whenever he appears from him, he joins the like of his existence, and what is less than him is non-existent in his arena and lost when his authority appears, and he is the beloved of the gnostics and the destination of the worlds. Whoever turns away from him has turned away from God, the Dominant, the Mighty, the Powerful.
