ears no fruit.

As to thine action against the journal which hath libeled thee: It is not
at all best to bring action against them, because there is no profit in
doing that; nay, it will lead to more sayings of a similar nature. Under
these circumstances silence is best. Thou must not be disappointed, sorry
or grieved thereat; God will remove all these difficulties. If thou wilt

be recovered and all the troubles will be settled.

Go back to those regions where thy return is expected by those souls who,

Unconstrained, and say unto them: "Glad-tidings unto you who are sincere!
Glad-tidings unto you who are faithful servants! Verily I have seen the
Kingdom of God with its doors open, the garden of El-ABHA with extensive
sides and regions, with dazzling lights, rolling seas, verdant and
beautiful orchards, overflowing beds, green trees, fresh and bright
leaves, perfumed flowers, sweet rivers, gentle breeze, beautiful air,
