One of the maternal uncles of the Báb. It was in answer to his questions that Bahá'u'lláh revealed the Kitáb-i-Iqán. Hají Mírzá Siyyid Muḥammad had not been entirely convinced that his nephew was the Promised Qá'im and, during a visit to Bag̲h̲dad, asked Bahá'u'lláh to clarify how the traditions and prophecies were fulfilled by the Báb. Bahá'u'lláh told him to make a list of his questions. In the next two days and nights Bahá'u'lláh revealed the Kitáb-i-Iqan in answer. His doubts were dispelled, and he acknowledged the truth of both the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh. |
