The acting governor of Ámul succeeded in effecting Our
release from captivity. Through an opening in the wall that he ordered his men
to make, he enabled Us to leave that room, and conducted Us to his house. No
sooner were the inhabitants informed of this act than they arose against Us,
besieged the governor’s residence, pelted Us with stones, and hurled in Our
face the foulest invectives.
- Bahá’u’lláh (Cited in ‘The Dawn-Breakers’, by
Nabil; translated and edited by Shoghi Effendi)
