''Selections from the Writings of the Báb'' is a book of excerpts from notable works of the Báb, the forerunner-Prophet of the Bahá'í Faith. It was compiled and published in 1976 by the Universal House of Justice.

The first chapter was written for Mullá Husayn, the first to believe in the Báb's claims, on the same day that the Báb proclaimed himself. Mullá Husayn had requested that Siyyid Kázim write a commentary on the Surah of Joseph, but Siyyid Kázim responded that the Promised One would reveal the commentary to him "unasked". (Balyuzi, p. 20) On their meeting in Shiraz, the Báb began to write the commentary. Mullá Husayn reported: Táhirih translated the ''Qayyúmu'l-Asmá into Persian. ==Persian Bayán== (詳細はBáb. Although he started it, it was left unfinished at his death, with instructions left that He whom God shall make manifest would complete it, or appoint someone to complete it. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Selections from the Writings of the Báb」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
