Bahá’u’lláh’s half-brother and his wife Maryam made adequate arrangements for Him to rest and recuperate

Mirza Ridá-Qulí
Bahá’u’lláh was given one month to leave the country. At the time of His release from the Síyáh-Chál, He was too ill to set out on a long journey. He had no home of His own now. His house had been wrecked and pillaged, and His family had found temporary accommodation in an obscure quarter of the capital. He went to live in the house of His half-brother, Mirza Ridá-Qulí, whose wife Maryam was devoted to Him, made adequate arrangements for Him to rest and recuperate.
