When the first storm of tests blew in Acca and the fire of violation appeared, the eyes of most of the believers were closed to the truth

In the evening, Abdul-Baha called one of the pilgrims, known as Mirza Mahmood Forooghy, to him. (The translator knows this man personally. He is indeed one of God's heroes. One of his great works was this: When the first storm of tests blew in Acca and the fire of violation appeared, the eyes of most of the believers were closed to the truth; but his honor Mirza Mahmoud Forooghy sounded the trumpet of firmness and their eyes became opened.)
