1848-1850: Baha’u’llah’s house in Tihran becomes a focal point for the Bábi Faith

Baha'u'llah’s…house in Tihran became a focal point for the Bábis of the capital city, and those Bábis who were passing through Tihran also received His hospitality. Among the Bábis who at this time frequented the house of Baha'u'llah was Vahid, who was to go from there to earn eternal fame and glorious martyrdom at Nayriz. Another visitor was Mirza 'Aliy-i-Sayyah (Mulla Adi Guzal of Maraghih), who was acting as courier for the Báb and was commissioned by Him to perform a pilgrimage to Shaykh Tabarsi and pray at the graves of those distinguished martyrs. Yet another who called on Baha'u'llah was Mulla 'Abdu'l-Karim-i-Qazvini (Mirza Ahmad), bringing with him the pen-case, seals and rings of the Báb.
