Bayān (in Arab “the explanation”). This concept is used in a complex way in the writings of the Bāb, the founder of the new religion resulting from the Shiite Islam , the Bābisme. Thus it can return to Persan Bayān or Arab Bayān. Moreover, Bāb uses it to return to all that he wrote.

It is at the time of its imprisonment in the fortress Persian of Māhkū (1847 or 1848) that it started to compose Persan Bayān which contains approximately: 8000 worms and is divided into nine parts, called Vahids (in Arab “units”). Each Vahid contains 19 sections except the last which has ten of them. To the beginning of each section an Arabic summary of the Persan text is given. The work exposes the direction and the importance of eschatologic concepts like the Paradis, the Enfer, death, resurrection, the return of Jesus, the weighing of the hearts, the hour and the last judgment and it indicates how all that was achieved by its own appearance. In this work Bāb also proclaims the laws of its new religion and repeals at the same time the laws of the Coran concerning the prayer, the Jeûne, the marriage, the divorce and the death tax. However it in the same way maintains the faith in the prophetic mission of Mohammed that before Bāb the prophet of Islam had repealed the decrees of the Évangile while recognizing the divine origin of the faith of Jesus-Christ. Moreover, one finds in Persan Bayān of many indications and many judgments, but also of the predictions: “That which God will express”. For the Bahaïs this man predicts that God was to express is Bahā' Ullāh, the founder of their religion. Bāb written in Persan Bayān: “Until the day of resurrection, at the day of that which God will express, Bayān will be the infallible balance of God. ” Since in 1873, Baha' u' llah took again certain laws in Kitab-i-Aqdas, modified others of them and a great number, Bahaïs repealed some, if they look at the writings of Bāb like crowned texts, regard however its laws as exceeded.

It is during the last months of its life, imprisoned in the fortress Persian of Chehrīq, that Bāb wrote Arab Bayān. This work treats the same whole of subjects that Persan Bayān, but it is less wide and of a less authority.
