Quddús: first in rank of the Letters of the Living

The last, but in rank the first, of these Letters to be inscribed on the Preserved Tablet was the erudite, the twenty-two year old Quddús, a direct descendant of the Imám Hasan and the most esteemed disciple of Siyyid Káẓim. 
- Shoghi Effendi  (Chapter 1, ‘God Passes By)
