This passage abrogates a provision of the Bayán which
decreed that all objects unparalleled of their kind should,
upon the appearance of Him Whom God will make
manifest, be rendered unto Him. The Báb explained that,
since the Manifestation of God is beyond compare, whatever
is peerless in its kind should rightfully be reserved for Him,
unless He decrees otherwise.
