Source (Arabic)
فَلَمَّا جَاءَ الوَعْدُ وَظَهَرَ المَوْعُودُ أَنْكَرُوهُ عِبَادُكَ الَّذِينَ يَدَّعُونَ الإِيمَانَ بِمَظْهَرِ نَفْسِكَ الَّذِيْ جَعَلْتَهُ مُبَشِّرًا لِهذَا الظُّهُورِ الَّذِيْ مِنْهُ قَرَّتْ عُيُونُ أَهْلِ خِبَاءِ أَحَدِيَّتِكَ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
And when the Pledge was fulfilled and the Promised One appeared, He was rejected by such of Thy servants as profess to have believed in Him in Whom Thy Godhead was manifested, Whom Thou didst ordain to be the Herald of this Revelation, and through Whose advent the eyes of the inmates of the sanctuary of Thy unity were cheered.
