Abdul Baha looks at Qaim-Maqam's picture every morning when He wakes-up.

You might like to know that there are several Tablets from ʻAbduʼl-Bahá in which he praises the Qáʼim-Maqám for his keen intellect and outstanding character. In one of them, He mentions that a portrait of the Qáʼim-Maqám hangs in His bedroom, and that He looks at it every morning when He wakes. In some of His Tablets, ʻAbduʼl-Bahá even quotes—both directly and indirectly—some brilliantly clever turns of phrase coined by the Qáʼim-Maqám.

All these instances have been meticulously compiled and excellently presented by Vahid Rafati in an article published on pp. 192–210 of the 18th issue of Safíniy-i-ʻIrfán—the Persian counterpart to "Lights of ʻIrfán"—entitled "Qáʼim-Maqám Faráhání dar Áthár-i-Baháʼí" (“Qáʼim-Maqám Faráhání in the Baháʼí Writings”). I have been working on a translation of this article for some time as part of a larger project. If there is interest, I would love to share it with you and the rest of the group when it is complete.
