The Bab refers to his son in his commentary on the Surih of Joseph. The following is A. L. M. Nicolas' translation: "In truth, thy son Ahmad has a refuge in the Blessed Paradise near to the Great Fatimih." ( Surih of Qarabat.) "Glory be to God Who in truth has given to the `Delight of the Eyes,' in her youth, a son who is named Ahmad. Verily, we have reared this child toward God!" ( Surih of Abd.) (Preface A. L. M. Nicolas' "Le Bayan Persan," vol. 2, p. II.)
