(Ḥájí Ak̲h̲únd) Hand of the Cause born in S̲h̲ahmírzád in about 1842, the son of a mullá. He attended religious colleges in Mas̲h̲had and in about 1861 he encountered the Bábís and became a Bábí. When news of his conversion spread, the religious students rose against him and forced him to leave town. He eventually settled in Ṭihrán where he became so well known as a Bahá'í that whenever there was an outburst against the Bahá'ís he would wrap himself in his ‘abá and wait for the guards to come and arrest him. He died in Ṭihrán on 4 March 1910. |
