A Hand of the Cause and an Apostle of Bahá'u'lláh, Abu'l-Ḥasan became a Bábí shortly after the martyrdom of the Báb. When Bahá'u'lláh declared His mission, Abu'l-Ḥasan accepted immediately and travelled throughout Iran teaching other Bábís of the advent of Bahá'u'lláh. Eventually he became the assistant of Ḥájí S̲h̲áh-Muḥammad Mans̲h̲adi, Amínu'l-Bayán, who was Trustee of the Huqúqqu'lláh. Abu'l-Ḥasan earned his living by trading and by writing letters for those were were unable to write, while at the same time he collected the Ḥuqúqu'lláh and any letters the believers wanted sent to Bahá'u'lláh and distributed Tablets revealed by Bahá'u'lláh. He visited 'Akká whilst Bahá'u'lláh was still a prisoner in the citadel and was the first Bahá'í from the outside world to be able to meet Bahá'u'lláh in 'Akká (in the public baths). On the death of Ḥájí S̲h̲áh-Muḥammad Mans̲h̲adi in 1880, Abu'l-Ḥasan was appointed Trustee (Amín) of the Ḥuqúqu'lláh. In 1891 he was imprisoned for three years in Ṭihrán and QazvIn. He continued his travels during the life of 'Abdu'l-Bahá, visiting Haifa and 'Akká on several occasions. He died in 1928 and was posthumously named a Hand of the Cause by Shoghi Effendi.
