The Azalis wanted Abul-Fazl's book very much

The sheikh of Islam, of Caucasia, wrote against the Cause. Some of the friends answered him. Sheikh of Islam wrote a second time a criticism. After that, Agha Mirza Abul-Fazl wrote a full, convincing answer. It surprised the sheikh.

It was amusing and the joke is here, that the Ezelis wanted Abul-Fazl's book very much. Finally, one of the friends asked, "Well, you are Babis; what is in this book that you want so much?" They replied, "For its good arguments in behalf of his highness, the Supreme (the Bab). And for these arguments, we want the book."
