Source (Arabic)
و به چه عشق و حبّ و محبّت و ذوق که جان رایگان در سبیل سبحان انفاق نمودند چنانچه بر همه واضح و مبرهن است با وجود این چگونه این امر را سهل شمرند آیا در هیچ عصر چنین امر خطیری ظاهر شد و آیا اگر این اصحاب مجاهد فیالله نباشند دیگر که مجاهد خواهد بود و آیا اینها طالب عزّت و مکنت و ثروت بودند و آیا مقصودی جز رضای حقّ داشتند و اگر این همه اصحاب با این آثار عجیبه و افعال غریبه باطل باشند دیگر که سزاوار است که دعوی حقّ نماید قسم بخدا که همین فعلشان برای جمیع من علی الأرض حجّت کافی و دلیل وافی است لو کان النّاس فی اسرار الأمر یتفکّرون وَسَیَعْلَمُ الَّذِینَ ظَلَمُوا أَيِّ مُنْقَلَبٍ یَنقَلِبُونَ...
