Suriy-i-Sabr (Surih of Patience) was “revealed on the first
day of Ridvan” in the year 1863. It “extols Vahid and his fellow-sufferers in
Nayriz …” (Adapted from ‘God Passes By’, by Shoghi Effendi). This Tablet also known
as Lawh-i-Ayyub (Tablet of Job) is equal in length to almost one-quarter of the
Kitáb-i-Íqán. It is in Arabic and was revealed in honour of Haji Muhammad-Taqi,
a native of Nayriz, upon whom Bahá'u'lláh bestowed the title of Ayyub (Job).
(Adapted from ‘The Revelation of Baha'u'llah v 1’, by Adib Taherzadeh) A
provisional translation of this Tablet is available at Baha’i Tablets –provisional Translations.
