Ḥájí ‘Abdu’lláh Najaf-Ábádí |
He spent his days in friendly association with the other
67
believers. Then for a while he went to Ghawr, near Tiberias,
where he farmed, both tilling the soil and devoting
much of his time to supplicating and communing with
God. He was an excellent man, high-minded and unsullied.
|
Later he returned from Ghawr, settled near Bahá’u’lláh
in Junayna, and came often into His presence. His eyes
were fixed on the Abhá Kingdom; sometimes he would
shed tears and moan, again he would rejoice, glad because
he had achieved his supreme desire. He was completely
detached from all but God, happy in God’s grace. He
would keep a vigil most of the night, remaining in a state
of prayer. Then death came at the appointed hour, and in
the shadowing care of Bahá’u’lláh he ascended, hurried
away from this world of dust to the high Firmament,
soared upward to the secret land. Unto him be salutations,
mercy and praise, in the neighborhood of his exalted Lord.
