9.   Allegations Against ‘the Most Luminous Branch’

9.1  Allegation of mischievous provocations
Mirza Badiullah, according to him was a three months old baby when his parents were removed from Edirne to Acre, in Palestine in 1868. He died in Haifa on November 1, 1950.
In his Will and Testament, Sir Abbas Effendi refers his followers to Mirza Badiullah's written evidence wherewith to prove Mirza Muhammad Ali's alleged tampering with the Book. Facsimile of the document embodying the written evidence is not attached to the original Will and Testament.

In his Will and Testament, PP.22-23, Sir Abbas Effendi warns his partisans against Mirza Badiullah, and directs and instructs them to shun this alert and active worker of mischief, lest he cause a breach and extirpate the cause of God.' Failure to comply with this injunction rendered the offender liable be cast out from the congregation of the people of Baha.

Mirza Badiullah's "dealings and mischievous provocations are stated in the Will to have been set down in a "special document," facsimile of which is not attached to the original Will and Testament. No documentary evidence is available to verify this allegation. The allegation is, therefore, dismissed.
