Bayan (Arabic: "Declaration " ) is a term from the writings of the Bab, which can denote both the Persian as the Arab Bayan. However, the Bab also uses it as an umbrella term for all its literature.

Vahid each containing 19 portions except for the last ten sections. At the start of each section an Arabic summary of the Persian text is given. The work lays out the meaning and significance of eschatological concepts such as Heaven, Hell, Death, Resurrection, Second Coming, " the balance ", " hour " and the last judgment and shows how these have been fulfilled by his own show.
