Mírzá ‘Abbás of Núr, known as Mírzá Buzurg the Vizier, the father of Bahá'u'lláh. Renowned for, in the words of Mullá Ḥusayn, ‘his character, his charm, and artistic and intellectual attainments',25 he served as a vizier to a son of Fatḥ-'Alí S̲h̲ah. Under Muḥammad S̲h̲ah he was governor of Burújird and Luristán, but lost his official posts and much of his wealth through the antagonism of Ḥají Mírzá Áqásí. Bahá'u'lláh was Mírzá Buzurg's third child by his second wife, K̲h̲adíjih K̲h̲ánum. Mírzá Buzurg died in 1839.
[BD 49]
