Then he mentioned the Ascendants (al-Mutali') in every age, and the Occultation (Ghayba) of our Master—Glory be to Him who never truly vanishes—and the Occultation of the Master Gate (al-Sayyid al-Bab).

He described His manifestation as a trial, as He veiled that from us and screened us from Him. Finally, he mentioned the Radiant Return (al-Raj'a al-Bayda'), the lifting of the veil, the retribution, and the full settlement of rights—wherein some people shall find happiness and others shall find misery—and the appearance of the Master Gate with the Cup in his hand from Abd al-Nur. Then he mentioned the manifestation of the Meaning from the eye of the Sun with Dhu al-Faqar in his hand. Then, he praised Allah the Exalted for what He had revealed to him, through which he attained success.
