Source (Arabic)
إيّاكم أن لا تظلموا على الّذين هم هاجروا إليكم ودخلوا في ظلّكم اتّقوا الله وكونوا من المتّقين، لا تطمئنّوا بقدرتكم وعساكركم وخزائنكم فاطمئنّوا بالله بارئكم ثمّ استنصروا به في أموركم وما النّصر إلّا من عنده ينصر من يشاء بجنود السّموات والأرضين،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Beware not to deal unjustly with anyone that appealeth to you, and entereth beneath your shadow. Walk ye in the fear of God, and be ye of them that lead a godly life. Rest not on your power, your armies, and treasures. Put your whole trust and confidence in God, Who hath created you, and seek ye His help in all your affairs. Succor cometh from Him alone. He succoreth whom He will with the hosts of the heavens and of the earth.
