And as for what was written about the friends in the land of Yá by the glory of God upon them, this response descended from the heaven of the divine will:

He is the Most Ancient, the Greatest, the Most Holy, the Most High, the Most Glorious.

O people of Yá, if you listen to the call of the Owner of Names who calls you in the Greatest Prison and invites you to a station that God has sanctified from the descriptions of all religions and purified from their remembrances and indications. He is the Almighty who has raised a banner doing as He wishes, and a flag has risen, ruling as He desires. Blessed is the one who spoke with this greatest mention and the soul that turned to His straight path. We have entered the prison and called everyone to God, Lord of the worlds, on a matter that neither soldiers nor ranks nor the bluster of heroes and rulers, nor the noise of the scholars and the wise could prevent. Blessed is the servant who succeeded in what God willed, and woe to the heedless. This is the day when earthquakes appeared, tribes lamented, widows cried out, and the skins of those who argued with the signs of God and His proof and denied His clear, manifest book shivered. Say, O people of explanation, leave what you have; by God, the Merciful has come with a proof that stands not with what the parties have. This is attested by the Owner of the Necks in this great tablet. Say that the oppressed guides you to the face of God and commands you with what pleases the eyes of those who, when they hear the call, hasten to the highest horizon and answer their Lord, the Speaking, the Seeing. Beware that the affairs of creation do not prevent you from the truth. Leave what the people have with this name by which every wise matter has appeared. Support your Lord, the Merciful, with wisdom and explanation. This is what you have been commanded in successive years and in this tablet which speaks before the faces of the world with what the Ancient Tongue has spoken. There is no god but I, the Noble, the Generous. We have borne hardships and tribulations in secret and in public for the elevation of God’s cause, so when it was raised with truth, the buzzing of the flies appeared from behind the veil with what every prophet lamented and every trustworthy messenger cried out. Say, O assembly of explanation, be fair in the matter of your Lord, the Merciful. Beware that what prevented the people of the criterion from turning to the Greatest Sea prevents you, and beware that what veiled the nations veils you. Fear God and do not follow every distant caller. Approach with the greatest integrity to the highest horizon; by the life of God, this is better for you than what was created in the earth and the heavens. This is attested by the Owner of Names in this innovative tablet. How many a servant was attracted by the signs of his Lord because the might of the rulers or the thorn of the powerful did not frighten him. They hastened in the wilderness of love and loyalty and said, 'Here I am, here I am, O beloved of hearts, and here I am, here I am, O the purpose of those in the heavens and the earth.' Thus spoke the Tongue of Grandeur out of His grace to reveal what was hidden in the treasure of God and written in the books of the messengers. Take the Book of God with strength from Us and power from Our presence; by the life of God, this is the day We promised before to make you leaders on the earth and make you the inheritors. Hold on, O servants of God, to the greatest rope and cling to the hem of the Almighty, the Powerful. Stand firm on the command without being prevented by the affairs of the world or the suspicions of those who turn away. Thus, We illuminated the horizon of the Book with the sun of the remembrance of your Lord, the Singular, the All-Knowing. The Highest Pen calls to the friends of the land of Yá and its surroundings and mentions them with the best of remembrances, that perhaps the elixir of explanation of the Merciful might seize them, and the indications of the world and the words of the nations cannot prevent it. With this wholesome, firm, blessed word which is like torrential rain for the gardens of the explanation of the Merciful, be watchful and drink from it; with the eyes of creation, you do not see and do not find the impregnable truth. Remove your eye from everything so that you may succeed in observation and encounter. Today is the day when the deeds, ranks, and stations of all are revealed and will be revealed because the discerning knower is manifest and the detailed expert is clear and evident. Strive so that you do not remain deprived of the infinite bounties of the generous donor and are not prohibited from what is most worthy of this Most Holy Day. The carpet of illusions is spread more than before, and the armies of conjectures are stronger than what they were. God willing, by the grace of the Merciful, you will be supported in a matter whose mention remains with the kingdom and the dominion, enduring and everlasting. Praise be to God, you have succeeded on the Day of God and have perceived the breezes of the shirt of union. Souls that considered themselves the highest, greatest, most honorable, and largest among creation are deprived of the sea of knowledge and veiled and prohibited from the horizon of the divine order, and you have succeeded by a prior mercy and encompassing grace in a matter that has always been and will always be the hope of the sincere and the near ones. From the truth of His glory in all circumstances, request that you be supported to preserve this precious pearl and be kept safe and hidden from the eyes of thieves and traitors. Indeed, He speaks the truth and guides the way. There is no god but He, the Noble, the Beautiful. God willing, from the infinite divine favors, the Kawthar of attraction and desire and the Salsabil of integrity and longing flow from the sublime words that have been issued from the source of the order, that all may drink from it because truly every breath by it succeeds, sees the whole world as non-existent, and stands on the divine path with an integrity that makes the movers of the world of enmity and hatred see themselves as incapable. By the life of the Beloved, from the lights of the likes of these souls, the horizon of power and steadfastness is illuminated and bright. Look at the call of the distant caller, taken by his servant, written two words from the explanation and two words from the Furqan are taken, and they make a verse and send it around. Observe how much he considers people foolish and ignorant that he claims such nonsense and yet considers him an argument and possessing proof and evidence. By your life, O beloved of my heart, this servant is very bewildered among the people, whether what has happened and what creation has committed that by guidance such ignorance has been afflicted. From the beginning of the world until now, such innovative matters and impregnable signs have not been seen, and the eye of explanation and the sight of gnosis have not observed anything like it. With a single most holy, most impregnable tablet, no match is made, all books attest to that. Whoever succeeded with a drop from the sea of fairness has encompassed the world with innovative, impregnable signs, equivalent to all heavenly books, brilliant verses have descended, and according to the apparent what happened before and what will happen after has been explicitly stated in the mentioned divine book, yet they say and will say what no heedless one turning away at the appearance of manifestations has said, and the shamelessness of this rebellious, tyrannical faction has reached a station that in the appearance of the manifestation and the messenger with these nonsense words spoke and act. May the truth grant fairness and may the sight of generosity be decreed.
