Unless one quotes a verse or verses of Quran which Baha'u'llah read and understood correctly from the context verses of Quran which others could not understand, this will be just a claim or a story. Please quote some examples.Baha'u'llah well before he declared His station as a Manifestation of God, as a child of tender years, would amaze his audience with His explanations of the Koran.
He was much admired for His innate knowledge of the Message in the Koran and the ability to quote from it and any tradition in the course of a discussion.
The Bab also able to do this.
The question then is, who but the Bab and Baha'u'llah have Understood the Koran?

There are too many to quote. Here I quote a passage of Iqan, you can find many other examples in the same Book:Unless one quotes a verse or verses of Quran which Baha'u'llah read and understood correctly from the context verses of Quran which others could not understand, this will be just a claim or a story.

Did Baha'ullah read and understand Quran correctly?
I quote from Kitabe Iqan of Bahaullah:
"Every discerning observer will recognize that in the Dispensation of the Qur’án both the Book and the Cause of Jesus were confirmed. As to the matter of names, Muḥammad, Himself, declared: 'I am Jesus.' "

It is not mentioned in Quran. Kindly quote the verse of Quran where it is mentioned in Quran. Please
Regards
Bahaullah is not saying there is a verse in Quran that says, Muhammad is Jesus.
Bahaullah states: Muhammad Himself declared 'I am Jesus'
"but the source of these traditions come from Quran."Bahaullah is not saying there is a verse in Quran that says, Muhammad is Jesus.
Bahaullah states: Muhammad Himself declared 'I am Jesus'
Else where in the same Book, Bahaullah wrote:
"Thus hath Muḥammad, the Point of the Qur’án, revealed: “I am all the Prophets.”
Likewise, He saith: “I am the first Adam, Noah, Moses, and Jesus.” Similar statements have been made by ‘Alí. Sayings such as this, which indicate the essential unity of those Exponents of Oneness, have also emanated from the Channels of God’s immortal utterance, and the Treasuries of the gems of divine knowledge, and have been recorded in the scriptures. These Countenances are the recipients of the Divine Command, and the daysprings of His Revelation. This Revelation is exalted above the veils of plurality and the exigencies of number."
These are found in the recorded traditions, but the source of these traditions come from Quran.
For example, surah al-nisa, verse 69:
"And whoever shall obey God and the Apostle, these shall be with those of the Prophets, and of the Sincere [Ones], and of the Martyrs, and of the Just, to whom God hath been gracious. These are a goodly band!"
روى الشيخ الطوسي رحمه الله في كتاب مصباح الأنوار بإسناده عن أنس قال : صلى بنا رسول الله في بعض الأيام صلاة الفجر ثم أقبل علينا بوجهه الكريم فقلت له يا رسول الله أرأيت أن تفسر لنا قوله تعالى : ( فَأُولئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَداءِوَالصَّالِحِينَ وَحَسُنَ أُولئِكَ رَفِيقاً ) فقال أما النبيون فأنا وأما الصديقون فأخي علي وأما الشهداء فعمي حمزة وأما الصالحون فابنتي فاطمة وأولادها الحسن والحسين عليهم السلام الخبر [٤].

It is recorded in the Traditions, that Muhammad with regard to this verse has said:
Thus, I am the Prophets, the Sincere Ones is My brother, Ali, and the Martyrs is My uncle Hamzah....
Notice, Muhammad is referring to Himself as plural of the 'Prophet'.
There are many other Traditions as well from Muhammad and Ali. For example see the Sermon of the Gulf by Imam Ali, in which He says 'I am the Adam'.
Bahaullah is teaching the concept of Oneness of the Prophets, and is reminding that Muhammad had already taught that as well.
"but the source of these traditions come from Quran."
I don't agree with one.
Quran could be the source of a Hadith, if correctly understood from a verse of Quran and its context verses .
There is no such verse in Quran.
It is against the text of Quran so it is an attempt by Bhaullah to misinterpret Quran and to mislead his followers. Please

Exactly. And according to Islamic Traditions which I referred, Muhammad, interpreted the verse of Quran, by saying 'I am the Prophets'.Any religious person worth his or her salt is expected to transcend his or her own scripture, to learn to make his or her own, to explain how it is supposed to be interpreted, when it applies or fails to and why.
Quote from the above post "115. Qur’án 2:285." UnquoteAre you familiar with the concept of Spiritual Return of Prophets?
The reason that in that verse, Prophet, Martyr, Sincere One, have come in the Plural Form, is because, it wants to establish the oneness of All Prophets and Chosen Ones.
So, to me, it makes sense, and the Hadith of the Prophet confirms it.
There are also many other Quranic verses that teach unity of Prophets.
You can see them, how Bahaullah quoted them, and explained them within their correct context.
"These Manifestations of God have each a twofold station. One is the station of pure abstraction and essential unity. In this respect, if thou callest them all by one name, and dost ascribe to them the same attribute, thou hast not erred from the truth. Even as He hath revealed:
“No distinction do We make between any of His Messengers!”115 For they one and all summon the people of the earth to acknowledge the Unity of God....
Thus hath Muḥammad, the Point of the Qur’án, revealed: “I am all the Prophets.”
Likewise, He saith: “I am the first Adam, Noah, Moses, and Jesus.” Similar statements have been made by ‘Alí. Sayings such as this, which indicate the essential unity of those Exponents of Oneness, have also emanated from the Channels of God’s immortal utterance, and the Treasuries of the gems of divine knowledge, and have been recorded in the scriptures. These Countenances are the recipients of the Divine Command, and the daysprings of His Revelation. This Revelation is exalted above the veils of plurality and the exigencies of number. Thus He saith: “Our Cause is but one.”116
Inasmuch as the Cause is one and the same, the Exponents thereof also must needs be one and the same.

Also, refer to Bible, Jesus said, John the Baptist is Elijah.
In Bahai View, God has revealed Book of Iqan. God is not quoting from Quran. God is reminding those words in the context of New Book, to both remind what was revealed before, and teach more.Baha'u'llah just quoted a portion of the verse

OOOOOOOOOOO
One could see that there is no such verse as mentioned by Bahaullah in Quran.
Kindly correct me if I am wrong. Please

Thanks for your concern. In Our View, God was speaking through Bahaullah.___________
Note:
I don't judge anybody.
I just hold that the followers of Bahaullah should not be misled by the misinterpretations and misquotings of Bahaullah.
Bahaullah was just a human being, neither a prophet/messenger of God, nor god, per se. He was also not a manifestation of God, more than any other human being is, as all inanimates and animates are subject to the attributes of God in some form of His mercy, that does not make them Manifestation of God per se. God, being the Creator, is different from everything created by Him.
I just wrote the above lines out of my love for the Bahais, as humans. If they still believe in, whatever they believe in, though they are wrong, yet it is their own discretion, choice and sweet will, they are entitled to. Please
No disrespect intended. Please
Regards
I don't agree with one.
I don't agree with one. PleaseAs ever, I don't think scripture is an important feature of any doctrine.
Any religious person worth his or her salt is expected to transcend his or her own scripture, to learn to make his or her own, to explain how it is supposed to be interpreted, when it applies or fails to and why.
If a doctrine is not prepared for that to happen, then it can hardly claim to be religion, let alone a true one.
