Although the Realm of Glory hath none of the vanities of the world, yet within the treasury of trust and resignation
Abstract:
Bahá’u’lláh’s last will and testament, appointing ‘Abdu’l-Bahá as His successor by summoning ‘the Aghṣán, the Afnán and My Kindred to turn, one and all, their faces towards the Most Mighty Branch’; categorically forbidding contention and conflict; and cautioning lest the means of order and unity that He brought into the world should become the cause of confusion and discord.

BLIB. Manuscripts in the British Library, London, listed by Or number. For a handlist of works of the Báb see Chapter 25 of https://archive.org/details/descriptivelisto00brituoft/page/n3. Regarding manuscripts in the series Or16590 through Or15740, which together comprise half of all known works of Bahá’u’lláh, including some 4,000 items which are uniquely accessible in this series: These were the bequest of a descendent of the family of Bahá’u’lláh; were mostly transcribed by Mírzá Muḥammad-‘Alí, and are likely to have been derived in part from the two stolen satchels of Bahá’u’lláh’s papers mentioned in GPB p.249 and MMK4#189 p.276. While included here owing to their importance, their degree of fidelity to the originals has not yet been ascertained
