The beloved Guardian told the pilgrims that, upon hearing of
Baha'u'llah's instructions to 'Abdu'l-Baha to acquire the site on Mount Carmel
for the resting-place of the Báb, the Covenant-breakers attempted to win the
glory. Mirza Badi'u'llah started negotiations and worked hard to buy that land.
He had intended to acquire the land and report the good news to Baha'u'llah.
But he did not succeed. Baha'u'llah told him, "This is none of your
business, it is for Aqá (the Master) to accomplish."
