| Hand of the Cause Muḥammad-i-Qá'iní, whose title was conferred on him by Bahá'u'lláh. Also known as Fáḍil-i-Qá'iní (the Learned One of Qá'in). He was arrested as a Bábí, a charge which he denied. The incident started him thinking, however, and he studied the writings of the Báb and became a believer. He became an eminent mujtahid and met Bahá'u'lláh. At first he did not recognize Bahá'u'lláh's station, but after listening to a discourse of Bahá'u'lláh, he became a Bahá'í. He taught the Faith widely and was arrested three times. It was to Nabíl-i-Akbar that Bahá'u'lláh's Tablet of Wisdom (Lawḥ-i-Hikmat) was addressed. He died in Buk̲h̲árá in 1892. 'Abdu'l-Bahá designated him a Hand of the Cause and Shoghi Effendi included him among the Apostles of Bahá'u'lláh. |
