| Súrih of Joseph |
|
| A chapter of the Qur'án relating the story, from Genesis, of Jacob's son Joseph, who was sold into slavery by his brother but was elevated by Pharaoh to rule over Egypt. The Súrih of Joseph is said to have been revealed by Muḥammad in order to prove the truth of His Mission, in response to a challenge. Before setting out in search of the Promised One, Mullá Ḥusayn had decided that one of the proofs by which he would judge any man who might claim to be the awaited Messenger would be his ability to reveal without hesitation a commentary on the Súrih of Joseph. On the Evening of 22 May 1844, when Mullá Ḥusayn was in the presence of the Báb, the Báb revealed, unasked, His commentary on that subject. It is known as the Qayyúmu'l-Asmá'. |
