Bahaismiran:
In the name of Allah
Most Baha’i authors and proselytizers believe that Bab’s works have been deviated. For instance, Abdul Qasem Afnan has written in the book “the highest covenant”:
“Since the emergence when the written works of the Excellency Bab preached and its copies were found by the enemies and opponents of Babi religious law, the basis of deviation and changing were formed. The Babism enemies deviated Babism books and sent tablets deceptively using weak, meaningless and obscene words and expressions and expanded among people… meanwhile, the Excellency Bab states in the tablet been sent down for Hajji Mirza Seyyed Ali Khan A’zam from Masqat: “Apparently, they have robbed in Shiraz city… Now, they have written two pages of prayer quickly whose concept and phrases aren’t being found in other prayers.” (The highest covenant –page: 439)
Nosratullah Muhammad Husseini has mentioned in the book “the Excellency Bab”:
“Several works of the Excellency Bab have been aberrant accidentally and some have been deviated intentionally by devotees…” (The Excellency Bab- p. 721)
However, there are several documents which indicate that Bab’s works have been deviated:
1) Bahaullah mentions about the lack of Bab’s works deviation:
“The old words have been newly stated. It is said about deviation. Tell them nobody can deviate them –The atheists are willing people not to observe the divine books.” (the faith and people –Vol.2- p. 112.)
2) The Excellency Bahaullah has also stated that:
“This mortal servant testifies that the holy Quran and the Bayan are the whole which are used by people band the book Bayan is the very one which is existent now…” (the heavenly food –Vol. 7- p. 232)
It is necessary to be mentioned that according to the writing on page 102 of the Persian Bayan written by Seyyed Bab, the word Bayan is used for all Bab’s works. In this regard, it is written in the book the Persian Bayan- Chapter 17:
“In brief, this chapter says that all the works written by the highest point are Bayan…”
Consequently, that Bab’s works have been deviated is doubtful.
Good luck
