Stations of the Primal Point & Baha
4. Mirza Muhammad Ali's Version
In the will and testament Mirza Muhammad Ali states that the BÂB, with all his majesty and greatness, designated himself as the Teller-of-Good-News about the coming of Baha, whose name he did not enclose in his consummate wisdom, and called it He-Who-Shall-Appear (Man-Yazhar).
Mirza Muhammad Ali goes on to say: "Baha's law will undergo no change, and will subsist for one thousand years. If one appears after that point, he will be speaking in Baha's name. Likewise in the Mustaghath [i.e. 2001 years] there will appear one who will testify divine unity and divinity. This major manifestation of Baha, axis of divine manifestations, on the strength of the utterance of the holy reed of Baha, graces the world once in every five hundred thousand years and makes himself known to his own creation. All former and future manifestations revolve around him.
The text sums as follows:

« و احکامش تبدیل نیابد و تا هزار سال باقی ماند و در الف اگر ظهوری مشهود شود ناطق به اسم او ست و همچنین در مستغاث آید کسیکه از برایش به وحدانیت و الوهیت شهادت دهد. این ظهور کلی که او را محور ظهورات الهیه دانستیم ؟ ؟ مقدسه پانصد هزار سال یکبار ظاهر میشود و خود را به خلق خود میشناسد و ظهورات سابقه و لاحقه کل طائف حول اوست و متعلق به او و حاکی از او »
