Verily, Christ is Our Word which We communicated unto Mary; and let no one say what the Christians term as ‘the third of three’,5 inasmuch as it would amount to slandering the Remembrance Who, as decreed in the Mother Book, is invested with supreme authority. Indeed God is but one God, and far be it from His glory that there should be aught else besides Him.
(Selections from the Writings of the Báb, pp. 60-61)
The phrase, "the third of three", as the fifth footnote states, comes from the Qur'an 5:73:
They have certainly disbelieved who say, "Allah is the third of three." And there is no god except one God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelievers among them a painful punishment.
(Qur'an 5:73)
The Báb accuses the majority of Christians of slandering Christ (i.e. the Remembrance) with their belief in the trinity.
