Hajji Mirza Ahmad of Kashan, the brother of Hajji Mirza Jani of Kashan, the author of the Nuqta-al-Kaf, accompanied the Bahai exiles from Baghdad to Edirne. He was as loyal follower of Subh-i Azal as he had previously been of the BءB. When Baha started out his pretensions at Edirne, Hajji Mirza Ahmad of Kashan was told by Baha to go back to Baghdad and to propagandise for Baha. He proceeded to Baghdad, accompanied by Baha's partisan, Aqa Muhammad Sadig, who was instructed by Baha to watch him and to see that they both propagandise for Baha. Hajji Mirza Ahmad of Kashan refused to espouse Baha's cause.

Aqa Muhammad Sadigh informed against him to Baha and observed that his failure to further Baha's cause had resulted in lack of response from prospective converts, whereupon orders were issued for his disposal by foul play & he was assassinated by Baha's men at Baghdad. -
Prof. Browne confirms the assassination in his Persian introduction to Nuqta-al-Kaf, P.43 (24).
