Gleanings — Paragraph 468
Source (Arabic)
وتكون من المطّلعين، فوالله ما خالفناه في شيء ولا غيره واتّبعنا أحكام الله في كلّ شأن وما كنّا من المفسدين، وهو بنفسه يشهد بذلك ولكن يريد أن يأخذنا ويرجعنا إلى العجم لارتفاع اسمه كما أنت ارتكبت هذا الذّنب لأجل ذلك وأنت وهو في حدّ سواء عند الله الملك العليم،
Translation
God is Our witness! We have, under no circumstances, opposed either him, or others. We observed, under all conditions, the precepts of God, and were never one of those that wrought disorders. To this he himself doth testify. His intention was to lay hold on Us, and send Us back to Persia, that he might thereby exalt his fame and reputation. Thou hast committed the same crime, and for the self-same purpose. Ye both are of equal grade in the sight of God, the sovereign Lord of all, the All-Knowing.
