Epistle to the Son of the Wolf — Paragraph 166

Source (Persian)

حال جناب شيخ در نفوذ کلمه تفکّر نمايد شايد از شمال وهم بيمين يقين توجّه کند * اين مظلوم در امر الهی با احدی مداهنه ننموده و کلمه حقّ را امام وجوه خلق باعلی النّداء ذکر کرده من شاء فليقبل و من شاء فليعرض * و لکن اگر اين امور ظاهره واضحه مشهوده انکار شود چه امری نزد متبصّرين بطراز قبول و اقرار مزيّن گردد ؟ انّا نسأل اللّه تبارک و تعالی ان يغفر للمذکور و يبدّل سيّئاته بالحسنات انّه هو المقتدر العزيز الوهّاب *

Translation

Ponder, now, O Shaykh, the influence of the word of God, that haply thou mayest turn from the left hand of idle fancy unto the right hand of certitude. This Wronged One hath never acted hypocritically towards any one, in the Cause of God, and hath loudly proclaimed the Word of God before the face of His creatures. Let him who wisheth turn thereunto, and let him who wisheth turn aside. If these things, however, that are so clear, so manifest and indubitable, be denied, what else can be deemed acceptable and worthy of credence in the estimation of men of insight? We beseech God - blessed and glorified be He - to forgive the aforementioned person (Ḥájí Shaykh Muḥammad-‘Alí), and change his evil deeds into good ones. He, verily, is the All-Powerful, the Almighty, the All-Bounteous.
