Dear Sen:
What do you mean by "these are editorial choices."?
Warmest regards,
Iskandar

That's why I'd be interested to see a manuscript rather than a printed edition.
As for your first question, here's two examples where the ablutions and the verse are attached only to the medium obligatory prayer:

The problem is, these are editorial choices. How do we know whether they are informed choices ?
Greetings,

Yes, that's the official position, but my interest is more in Baha'i shari`a from a textual analysis. I'm not an expert in palaeography but I would be interested in whether the (second) Lawh-i-Salat manuscript is digitised and available for study. Does anyone know?
