Claims of Quddus

"It is abundantly clear from Haji Mirza Jani's history that Hazrat-i-Quddus advanced the most extravagant claims, and that many of the Babis were disposed to regard him as superior to the Bab. He not only developed himself to be Christ come back to earth, but even went so far as to say, 'Whosoever hath known me is become a polytheist, and whosoever hath not known me is become an infidel, and whosoever asketh 'why' or 'wherefore' or 'how' concerning me is become a reprobate."

(The Tarikh i Jadid or New History of Mirza Ali Muhammad The Bab. Translated by Edward Browne)
