Description
From the upcoming book, 'Standard Bearers of Love' by Shirin Sabri, and the story, 'The Sword of Utterance': Mirza Abu'l-Fadl and his learned colleagues travel to the country on an outing from Tihran, Persia, and visit a blacksmith as they have to have a donkey's shoe replaced. The humble, illiterate blacksmith, a Baha'i, asks them a question relating to an Islamic tradition, then points out a contradiction in their explanation. Defeated, Mirza Abul-Fadl and the Mullas leave the shop. One of them whispers, 'This blacksmith is a Baha'i!' Read the story to see what the blacksmith next arranges.
