O ye
friends! His gentle nature was excellent and His sweet disposition sublime. He
was in the utmost humility and submission, and perfect kindliness and
praise. Worthy courtesy adorned His
Being. He was a refuge for every affrighted one; an asylum for every
discomfited one; a fountain for every thirsty one; a Highway of Salvation for
every wandering one; a healing to every sick one, and a dressing for every
wounded one.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet to the Spiritual Assembly of Baku,
Russia; Star of the West, vol. 2, no. 6, June 24, 1911)
