The Epistle to the Son of the Wolf is the last major work of Bah???'u'll???h, founder of the Bah???'??? Faith, before his death in 1892. It is a letter written to a Muslim cleric, a violent opponent of the Bah???'???s who, along with his father (called by Bah???'u'll???h "the wolf"), also a Muslim cleric, had put to death a number of Bah???'???s. In this work Bah???'u'll???h quotes extensively from his own previously revealed scriptures. This makes a large portion of the work a summary of excerpts on critical concepts expressed in previous works in a condensed form. Two brothers Muhammad-Husayn Nahr??? and Muhammad-Hasan Nahr??? came from an aristocratic and established mercantile family in Isfahan. The Im???m-Jum'ih of the city owed the brothers money and - when the two asked for a payment - he devised a plan to rid his debt. After confronting Shaykh Muhammad-Baqir, another influential Muslim cleric of Isfahan; and Sult???n-Mas'???d M???rz???, the son of N???siri'd-D???n Sh???h of this issue, the three devised a plan to imprison the brothers on account of their Bah???'??? religion. The two brothers were subsequently arrested, paraded around Isfahan with crowds jeering abuse, and publicly executed in a humiliating manner. Bah???'u'll???h was heartbroken by the death of the brothers - he had met the two whilst a prisoner in Adrianople. He eulogized the two, naming them the King and Beloved of Martyrs, and the Twin Shining Lights. Bah???'u'll???h wrote the book in around 1891 to the son of the shaykh, named ???q??? Najaf???, whom he denounced as the wolf - hence the title Epistle to the Son of the Wolf. ???q??? Najaf??? was also known for his persecution of the Bah???'???s. Bah???'u'll???h calls for him to repent for his and his father's wrongdoings and to investigate the faith.
