Baha'i Allegations Against Subh-i Azal

2. Allegations By Baha

2.2 Baha’s ‘Sura-i-Haykal’
In his Sura-i-Haykal, The Traveller’s Narrative, Note W, P. 369, Baha says that “yet until he [i.e. Subh-i-Azal] rested not in himself till he committed that which the pen cannot set down, that whereby he dishonoured me, and god”. Baha does not specify the nature of alleged “dishonour”. But it appears that the alleged “dishonour” was caused by Subh-i-Azal “dispatch one of his wives to the government home to demand an allowance and to complain of our master [Baha] saying, ‘he has not given us the allowance apportioned by the government, yea, he withholds from us bread and water”; according to Mirza Jawad’s Historical Epitome, Materials for the Study of the BÁBi religion by Prof. Browne, P. 24, or “to complain that her husband had been cheated by his rights, and that her children were on the verge of starvation”, according to Shoghi Effendi in god passes by, PP. 167-168.
