written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to the National Spiritual Assembly
of the United States and Canada clarified that "As to the list of the
prophets with whom Bahá'u'lláh identified Himself in the passage found
on pages 26 and 27 of 'The Dispensation of Bahá'u'lláh',
their names are as follows: Abraham, Moses, Joseph, John the Baptist,
Jesus, Imam Husayn, on whom Bahá'u'lláh has conferred an exceptionally
exalted station, (and) the Bab."
