Source (Persian)
از جمله خليل الرّحمن که قبل از ظهور آن حضرت، نمرود خوابی ديد و کَهَنه راخواست. اخبار دادند بر طلوع نجمی در سماء. و همچنين شخصی در ارض ظاهر شد که مردم را بشارت می داد به ظهور آن حضرت.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Among the Prophets was Abraham, the Friend of God. Ere He manifested Himself, Nimrod dreamed a dream. Thereupon, he summoned the soothsayers, who informed him of the rise of a star in the heaven. Likewise, there appeared a herald who announced throughout the land the coming of Abraham.
