should they bring sorrow to his holy heart, all their good works and devotions would become as scattered dust.

...during the two last years [of the Bab’s life and mission] all that emanated from the Supreme Pen bore reference to His Highness the Fruit [of the Beyan], whom he [i. e. the Bab] recommended to all the people of the Beyan, saying that should they bring sorrow, even to the extent of the mention of aught, on his holy heart, all their good works and devotions would become as scattered dust. Of the words of His Highness the Point [i. e. the Bab] still extant at the present day, which bears reference to the Fruit [of the Beyan, i. e. Subh-i-Ezel] exceeds 20,000 verses, not counting what has disappeared. And for ten years after [the death of] His Highness the Point all the people of the Beyan were unanimous and agreed as to the bestowal of the successorship on His Highness the Eternal [i. e. Subh-i-Ezel].
