يا شيخ علمای عصر در تجلّيات سدره بيان لابن عمران در طور عرفان چه ميگويند ان حضرت کلمه را از سدره اصغا نمود و قبول فرمود و لکن اکثری از ادراک اين مقام محروم چه که بما عندهم مشغولند و از ما عند اللّه غافل * سيّد فندرسک در اين مقام خوب گفته \[ اين سخن را در نيابد هيچ فهم ظاهری گر ابو نصر ستی و ور بوعلی سينا ستی ] ايا در اين فقره که خاتم انبيا روح ماسواه فداه فرموده چه ميگويند ميفرمايد [ سترون ربّکم کما ترون البدر فی ليلة اربعة عشر ] و حضرت امير عليه السّلام در خطبه طتنجيّه ميفرمايد [ فتوقّعوا ظهور مکلّم موسی من الشّجرة علی الطّور ] و همچنين حسين بن علیّ عليه السّلام ميفرمايد [ أيکون لغيرک من الظّهور ما ليس لک حتی يکون هو المظهر لک عميت عين لا تراک ] *

Shoghi Effendi Translation

O Shaykh! How do the divines of this age account for the effulgent glory which the Sadrah of Utterance hath shed upon the Son of Imran (Moses) on the Sinai of Divine knowledge? He (Moses) hearkened unto the Word which the Burning Bush had uttered, and accepted it; and yet most men are bereft of the power of comprehending this, inasmuch as they have busied themselves with their own concerns, and are unaware of the things which belong unto God. Referring to this, the Siyyid of Findirisk hath well said: "This theme no mortal mind can fathom; be it even that of Abu-Nasr, or Abú-‘Alí Síná (Avicenna)." What explanation can they give concerning that which the Seal of the Prophets (Muḥammad) - may the souls of all else but Him be offered up for His sake - hath said?: "Ye, verily, shall behold your Lord as ye behold the full moon on its fourteenth night." The Commander of the Faithful (Imam ‘Alí) - peace be upon him - moreover, saith in the Khutbiy-i-Tutujiyyih: "Anticipate ye the Revelation of Him Who conversed with Moses from the Burning Bush on Sinai." Ḥusayn, the son of ‘Alí - peace be upon him - likewise saith: "Will there be vouchsafed unto anyone besides Thee a Revelation which hath not been vouchsafed unto Thyself - A Revelation Whose Revealer will be He Who revealed Thee. Blind be the eye that seeth Thee not!"
