“Fear not. Do as you have been bidden, and commit Us to the care of the Almighty.”
When the Báb arrived in Urúmíyyih, prince Malik Qásim Mírzá ceremoniously received Him and accorded Him the warmest hospitality. But the prince was curious to test the powers of his Guest. So, on a certain Friday, when the Báb was going to the public bath, the prince ordered his groom to offer the Báb one of his wildest horses to ride to the bath. This horse had thrown off the most skillful and bravest of all the horsemen who had tried to ride him. Apprehensive that the Báb might get hurt, the attendant secretly approached the Báb and tried to induce Him to refuse to mount the horse. The Báb, calmly replied:
Fear not. Do as you have been bidden, and commit Us to the care of the Almighty.
