According to Kitab-i Subhi (see Subhi in 'Who is Who'), PP 116-123, Baha replied to petition from his followers through the servant of god, penned in the latter’s handwriting. The actual utterance of Baha was quoted as “saying” (قوللی) and “end” (انتهی), used as quotation marks if such term is permissible. Rightly or wrongly, this system of reply created the impression by the “servant of god” himself, with the exception of such part or parts thereof which came within the orbit of ( قوللی) and (انتهی) which emanated from Baha. Alive to the latent dangers of such an “impression” should survive him “when the kingdom of my Epiphany becomes cancelled, and the waves of the ocean of my utterances are hushed” (اذا غاب ملکوت ظهوری و سکنت امواج بحر بیانی) to quote from his Kitab-i Aqdas, (The Most Holy Book).
