The tradition concerning which thou didst enquire pertaineth to the Dispensation of the Qur’án and expresseth that which was incumbent upon the people at that time. In this most great Dispensation, the House of Justice is the body unto which all must turn: Whatsoever the House of Justice should ordain, the same is incumbent upon the people.
