The Rise of Baha
5. The Alleged Interview Between Baha and Mulla Husayn
No historical foundation for alleged interview between Baha and Mulla Husayn in 1844 in Teheran with a message from the Primal Point.
When the Point’s 18 disciples called “Letters of the Living who first believed in him, following his declaration in 1844 in Shiraz were complete he ordered them to journey forth in diverse directions and deliver the Point’s message. The Primal Point himself undertook to perform the pilgrimage, accompanied by his Last Letter of the living Mirza Muhammad Ali of Barfurush, surnamed Quddus.
The story goes that before proceeding on pilgrimage, the Dawn-Breakers, Nabil’s Narrative, P. 96, the Point instructed his First Letter of the Living Mulla Husayn of Bushruyeh “to direct your steps to that city which enshrines a Mystery of such transcendent holiness as neither Hajaz nor Shiraz can hope to rival, visit, on your way, Isfahan, Kashan, Teheran and Khurasan.”
Accordingly Mulla Husayn proceeded first to Isfahan, then to Kashan, and after that to Teheran. Arrived there, ibid, PP. 101-102, he put up or in one of the rooms which belonged to the Madrasa [an institution where the Islamic science are studied] of Pay-i Pedar. Haji Mirza Muhammad-i-Khurassani, the leader of the Shaykhi community of Teheran, who acted as an instructor in that institution, was approached by Mulla Husayn but failed to respond to his invitation to accept the message.”
