2.7 Mirza Asadullah
Mirza Asadullah of Isfahan, son of Hasan Ali Nuri, married Munira’s sister and became Sir Abbas Effendi’s brother-in-law. On dit, Asadullah was the bearer of the remains of Sayyid Ali Muhammad the BÁB or the Point martyred in 1850, from Iran to Haifa after Baha’s death and many years after Sir Abbas Effendi had succeeded his father. These remains are stated to have been laid to rest in the tomb-shrine on Mount Carmel at Haifa, in the Holy land.
It was Baha’s express wish, according to Baha’s son Mirza Badiullah’s statement to Jalal Azal, to have the BÁB’s remains removed to Acre, and to have them buried in the same shrine with Baha at Acre.
In the eyes of Abbas Effendi, however they had become potential rivals to be reckoned with. In the result Mirza Asadullah, his son Dr Farrid, and his daughter were excommunicated by Sir Abbas Effendi.
