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.

Shoghi Effendi writes in " God Passes By", p. 26: "The Báb was still in Máh-Kú when He wrote the most detailed and illuminating of His Tablets to Muḥammad Sháh. Prefaced by a laudatory reference to the unity of God, to His Apostles and to the twelve Imáms; unequivocal in its assertion of the divinity of its Author and of the supernatural powers with which His Revelation had been invested; precise in the verses and traditions it cites in confirmation of so audacious a claim; severe in its condemnation of some of the officials and representatives of the Sháh’s administration, particularly of the “wicked and accursed” Ḥusayn Khán; moving in its description of the humiliation and hardships to which its writer had been subjected, this historic document resembles, in many of its features, the Lawḥ-i-Sulṭán, the Tablet addressed, under similar circumstances, from the prison-fortress of ‘Akká by Bahá’u’lláh to Náṣiri’d-Dín Sháh, and constituting His lengthiest epistle to any single sovereign."
