1957 19 Nov 195-	Nine Hands of the Cause were chosen by Rúhíyyih Khánum to examine Shoghi Effendi's apartment. [BW 13:341] They were the five members of the International Bahá'í Council (Rúhíyyih Khánum, Mason Remey, Amelia Collins, Ugo Giachery and Leroy Ioas), an Afnán (Hasan Balyuzi), a representative of the Hands of the Western Hemisphere (Horace Holley), a representative of the Hands of the African continent (Músá Banání) and the Trustee of the Huqúqu'lláh ('Alí Muhammad Varqá). [BW13:341] After seeing that the seals were intact, the Hands examined the contents of Shoghi Effendi's safe and desk. [BW13:341] The nine Hands signed a document testifying that no Will or Testament of any nature executed by Shoghi Effendi had been found. This was reported to the entire body of Hands assembled in the Mansion of Bahjí. [BW13:341] See CB378–9 for an explanation of why Shoghi Effendi left no Will.	- Hands of the Cause; Amatul-Bahá Ruhiyyih Khanum; Amelia Collins; Bahji, Israel; Charles Mason Remey; Haifa, Israel; Hands of the Cause, Activities; Hasan Balyuzi; Horace Holley; International Bahá'í Council; Leroy Ioas; Musa Banani; Shoghi Effendi, Passing of; Ugo Giachery; Varqá, `Alí-Muhammad
