…Quddús, although besieged within the fort of Shaykh Tabarsí
by the battalions and fire of a relentless enemy, engaged, both in the daytime
and in the night-season, in the completion of his eulogy of Bahá’u’lláh—that
immortal commentary on the Sád of Samad which had already assumed the
dimensions of five hundred thousand verses?
- Nabil (‘The Dawn-Breakers’,
translated and edited by Shoghi Effendi)
Please note:
The combined number of verses in the Qur'an+New Testament+Old Testament is slightly more than 37,000.
