Baghdád 1856-1858: The “unrecorded verses…in a single day and night” = “the equivalent of the Qur’án!”

So prolific was this period, that during the first two years after His [Bahá’u’lláh’s] return from His retirement, according to the testimony of Nabíl, who was at that time living in Baghdád, the unrecorded verses that streamed from His lips averaged, in a single day and night, the equivalent of the Qur’án!
