Kitab-i-'Ahd — Paragraph 13
Source (Persian)
يا أغصانی و أفنانی و ذوی قرابتی نوصيکم بتقوی اللّه و بمعروف و بما ينبغی و بما يرتفع به مقاماتکم * براستی ميگويم تقوی سردار اعظم است از برای نصرت امر الهی * و جنوديکه لايق اين سردار است اخلاق و اعمال طيّبه طاهره مرضيّه بوده و هست *
Translation
O ye My Aghṣán, My Afnán and My Kindred! We exhort you to fear God, to perform praiseworthy deeds and to do that which is meet and seemly and serveth to exalt your station. Verily I say, fear of God is the greatest commander that can render the Cause of God victorious, and the hosts which best befit this commander have ever been and are an upright character and pure and goodly deeds.
