The Mother Book of the Bábí Dispensation. Comprising nine vahids (unities) of nineteen chapters or babs (gates)—with the exception of the last unity, which has only ten gates—the greater part of the work was written in the prison of Mákú, but, contrary to some prevalent assumptions, the last parts may have been written in Chihriq, after the Báb was interrogated by the clerics in Tabriz. The Persian Bayán abrogates Islamic laws and traditions and sets down new laws and teachings. However, the various laws are discussed as symbols referring to deep spiritual meanings and vehicles to prepare the people for the advent of Him Whom God shall make manifest. Both the form and content of the book affirm the underlying metaphysics of unity in which all things are manifestations of an inner reality which is the revelation of God within them.

C. Serrano (8:10)

A condensed form of the Persian Bayán, written in the language of divine verses. While much shorter in length than the Persian Bayán, the Arabic Bayán contains eleven full unities, whereas the Persian Bayán ends with gate 10 of the ninth unity. The parts of the Arabic Bayán that are not matched by the Persian Bayán (from gate 11 of the ninth unity to the end of the eleventh unity) were written after the Persian Bayán was completed. This work is sometimes assumed to have been written before the Persian Bayán for the simple reason that it seems as if the latter is an elaboration of the former. In reality, however, like the Persian Bayán, most of the Arabic Bayán was written in Mákú, although the last sections may have been written in Chihriq.

بسم الله الامنع الاقدس. شهد الله انه لا اله الا هو له الخلق و الأمر یحیی و یمیت ثم یمیت و یحیی و انه هو حی لا یموت فی قبضته ملکوت کلشیء یخلق ما یشآء بأمره انه کان علی کل شیء قدیرا شهد الله انه لا اله الا انا العزیز المحبوب شهد الله انه لا اله الا الله قل کل باللیل و النهار له عابدون

God testifieth that there is none other God but Him. His is the creation and the command. He giveth life and causeth death, then causeth death and giveth life, and verily He is the Ever-Living Who dieth not. In His grasp is the dominion of all things; He createth whatsoever He willeth by His command, and verily, He hath power over all things. God beareth witness that there is none other God but Me, the Mighty, the Best-Beloved. God beareth witness that there is none other God but God. Say: All, by night and by day, worship Him [3.5s]

Glorified be He in Whose Hands lie the kingdoms of all things. There is none other God but Him, the One, the Most Great, the Self-Subsisting, the Most Holy, the Most Exalted, the Almighty, the Impregnable.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم. الحمد لله الذی خلق السموات و الارض بامره ثم الذین آمنوا بالله و آیاته فاولئک هم الی الله یحشرون یا الهی کیف ادعوک و انک لم تزل لن تعرف بسواک و لا تزال ....

Praise be to God, Who hath created the heavens and the earth by His command, and beyond them those who have believed in God and His signs - these shall verily be gathered unto Him. O my God! How can I call upon Thee, when Thou hast ever been unknowable except through Thine own Self, and shalt ever thus remain [3.5s]... ...I have not claimed a single word of revelation. They say, “He has laid claim to spiritual authority and its trappings.”
