Thirteenth Point
My Brothers!
If everyone, and even I, withdraw from defending and preserving the Risale‑i Nur, five of our brothers should not withdraw. These are Hüseyin Usta, Halil ‹brahim, Re’fet Bey, Hüsrev, and Hakkı Efendi. The involuntary lack of caution of the first three… because of the personal grudges of the open enemies of the latter two – the intention was to cause excessive harm to the Risale‑i Nur. If it had not resulted in a great bounty like the Risale‑i Nur being spread and made known to a significant degree, these brothers would have been greatly upset at having caused the unhappiness of so many innocent Risale‑i Nur students.
Thus, more than everyone, these five brothers should be cautious and united.
