people who say so in the twenty-ninth letter of the first volume<br />
(fourth) of his book entitled Maktûbât. An English version of the<br />
letter occupies the fortieth chapter of the first fascicle of Endless<br />

invalid in the hundred and seventy-third chapter of the current<br />
book. However, the following facts should be reminded. An<br />
invalid undergoes three phases:<br />
1– An angel comes and takes away their mouth’s sense of taste.<br />
2– Another angel comes and takes away their physical strength.<br />
3– Another angel comes and takes away their sins.<br />
