April 11. On this date in 1950, the NSA of Iran "requested that a pamphlet be prepared over Fádil’s signature, in which he repudiated 37 points of his Táríkh Zuhúru’l-Haqq, vol. 3, that differed in detail from Nabíl. It appears that this concern with his history resulted in none of the other volumes being published to date, with the sole exception of volume 8 which covered the life of prominent Bahá’ís during ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s minister and did not overlap with The Dawn-Breakers or God Passes By."

From page 10 of Ahang Rabbani's The Bábís of Nayríz, History and Documents, Volume 2, Witnesses to Bábí and Bahá’í History...

On 11 April 1950, the National Spiritual Assembly of Iran requested that a pamphlet be prepared over Fádil’s signature, in which he repudiated 37 points of his Táríkh Zuhúru’l-Haqq, vol. 3, that differed in detail from Nabíl. It appears that this concern with his history resulted in none of the other volumes being published to date, with the sole exception of volume 8 which covered the life of prominent Bahá’ís during ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s minister and did not overlap with The Dawn-Breakers or God Passes By.

In fact, Hand of the Cause of God and Iran National Spiritual Assembly Member 'Alí-Akbar Furútan, was instrumental in censoring (devout Bahá’í scholar) Jinab-i Fadil's academic works.
