Bahá'u'lláh states in one of His Tablets that after leaving
Badasht, He travelled to Nur by easy stages….'village by village, town by town'
- until He arrived at Nur. It was probably while Bahá'u'lláh was at Bandar-Jaz
during the course of this journey that the following incident occurred.
'Abdu'l-Bahá has related that when Bahá'u'lláh arrived at Bandar-Jaz, He was
taken ill. In this sea-town lived a Bábí, named Mirza Masih, a man of superior
qualities. 'Abdu'l-Bahá describes him as 'spirit personified', one who, 'having
read just one verse from the pen of the Primal Point, observed: "Just let
this Báb be mine; you may have everyone else"'. At this very time, while
Bahá'u'lláh was at Bandar-Jaz, Mirza Masih passed away. Bahá'u'lláh held a
memorial meeting for him, and also wrote a prayer of visitation for this,
wonderful man.
