Kitab-i-Badi/English172

O people, we forbade you from what we forbade in all the Tablets, and commanded you as you were commanded in the Tablets of God, the Dominant, the Mighty, the Subsisting. And you did not hear what I said and transgressed your limits until you acted in the sanctuary of God and committed what the outcry appeared between the heavens and the earth, but you do not hear. Likewise, we forbade you from disposing of people's slave-girls, then their women, and likewise from shedding blood. And you turned away from me and did what the polytheists did not do. And if I am killed every time with all the swords, I will not believe your deeds, and with that I have been commanded by God. And this was not from me, but from Him, and He is the Truth, the Knower of the unseen.
