Interpretation and reception

Tablet to Mirza Aqay-i Afnan: Regarding the one who related the existence of the Qa'im

Baha'u'llah

Defends Ja'far's reported denial of a surviving son of Hasan Askari and challenges the alternative woman's testimony. Supplies a sharply different Bahai reception of the occultation account; polemical characterizations are attributed to the tablet, not adopted as historical findings.
