The laws of the Bayán has been superseded by the Kitáb-i-Aqdas except for those which are confirmed and mentioned in it[edit]

"The Bayán hath been superseded by the Kitáb-i-Aqdas, except in respect of such laws as have been confirmed and mentioned in the Kitáb-i-Aqdas. The Book to which the Bahá’ís turn is the Kitáb-i-Aqdas, not the Bayán."

('Abdu'l-Bahá, extract from a Tablet of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá; also cited in part in Notes to the Kitáb-i-Aqdas, no. 108)

"...the teachings of the Bayan have been abrogated and superseded by the laws of Aqdas..."

(On behalf of Shoghi Effendi, Unfolding Destiny, p. 426)
