A Prayer Revealed by the Báb for the Son of Siyyid Kazim Rashti

Abstract: What follows is a provisional English translation of a profoundly spiritual and exalted prayer revealed by the Báb in honour of Āqā Siyyid Aḥmad Āqāzādih, the son of the illustrious Ḥájí Siyyid Kāẓim Rashtí, the prominent leader of the Shaykhí school. This luminous supplication, imbued with the fragrance of divine love and longing, reflects the deep spiritual connection between the Báb and the heirs of the Shaykhí tradition. It evokes a tone of reverent intimacy and holy devotion, expressing themes of divine remembrance, servitude, and sanctified yearning. Revealed in Arabic, the original text appears in Nasím-i Ṣaḥarī, p. 82, compiled by Dr. Vahid Rafati.
