" Mulla Husayn is reported to have said the following: "One day, when I was alone with the late Siyyid [ Kazim] in his library, I enquired the reason why the Suriy-i-Yusuf was entitled in the Qur'an `the Best of Stories,' to which he replied that it was not then the proper occasion for explaining the reason. This incident remained concealed in my mind, neither had I mentioned it to anyone." ("The Tarikh-i-Jadid," p. 39.)
