Source (Persian)

يا شيخ اگر اين امور انکار شود کدام امر لائق اقرار است بيّن لوجه اللّه و لا تکن من الصّامتين * حضرت نجفعلی را اخذ نمودند و با کمال جذب و شوق قصد مقام شهادت نمود و باين کلمه ناطق [ ما بها و خون بها را يافتيم ] اين بگفت و جان داد * در اشراق و تجلّی نيّر انقطاع که از شطر اعلای قلب ملّا عليجان اشراق نمود نظر نمائيد نفحات کلمه عليا و اقتدار قلم اعلی بشانی جذبش کرد که ميدان شهادت و ايوان عشرت نزدش يکسان بل الاولی اولی * در جناب ابا بصير و سيّد اشرف زنجانی تفکّر نمائيد * امّ اشرفرا حاضر نمودند که ابنش را نصيحت نمايد ترغيب نمود الی ان فاز بالشّهادة الکبری *

Shoghi Effendi Translation

O Shaykh! If things such as these are to be denied, what shall, then, be deemed worthy of credence? Set forth the truth, for the sake of God, and be not of them that hold their peace. They arrested his honor Najaf-‘Alí, who hastened, with rapture and great longing, unto the field of martyrdom, uttering these words: "We have kept both Bahá and the khun-baha (bloodmoney)!" With these words he yielded up his spirit. Meditate on the splendor and glory which the light of renunciation, shining from the upper chamber of the heart of Mullá ‘Alí-Jan, hath shed. He was so carried away by the breezes of the Most Sublime Word and by the power of the Pen of Glory that to him the field of martyrdom equalled, nay outrivalled, the haunts of earthly delights. Ponder upon the conduct of Aba-Basir and Siyyid Ashraf-i-Zanjani. They sent for the mother of Ashraf to dissuade her son from his purpose. But she spurred him on until he suffered a most glorious martyrdom.
