Baha'u'llah refers to him as "that unique and peerless figure of his
age." (The "Kitab-i-Iqan," p. 188.) The Bab, in the
"Dala'il-i-Sab'ih," refers to him in the following terms: `Behold again
the number of the name of God (Siyyid Yahya)! This man was living a holy,
peaceful life in such a way that no one could deny his talents or his
sanctity, all admired his greatness in the sciences and the heights he had
attained in philosophy. Refer to the commentary of the Suratu'l-Kawthar
(Qur'an: S. 108) and to the other treatises written for him, which prove
how high a place he occupies in the sight of God!'" ("Le Livre des Sept
Preuves," translated by A. L. M. Nicolas, pp. 54-55.)
