153 On p. 14 of ‘An Epistle to the Bahai World’ written by Mírzá
Badí’u’lláh, translated by Dr Amínu’lláh Farid, and published by the
Bahá’í Publishing Society in Chicago in 1907, there is the following
passage concerning the falsification by Muḥammad-‘Alí of a Tablet in
which Bahá’u’lláh relates the misdeeds of Mírzá Yaḥyá, to whom He
refers as ‘My brother’. Mírzá Badí’u’lláh writes: ‘A few moments
passed and I saw him [Muḥammad-‘Alí] take up the Tablet, erase “My
brother” and replace it with “My Greatest Branch”. Having seen this,
I immediately said: “This deed is a great sin and a breach of trust.
If you show this Tablet, this servant will divulge the whole
account, will point out the interpolation, and this will cause all
the writings in your possession to be considered unreliable.
Hereafter whatsoever of the writings traced by the Supreme Pen you
may show me, I will not accept as authentic until I have carefully
compared the manuscript with the original handwriting which is
elsewhere preserved and have examined the same with a magnifying
glass.”’
