| Siyyid |
|
| Pronunciation: say-yed |
|
| A descendant of the Prophet Muḥammad through his daughter Fáṭimih, with the right to wear the green turban distinguishing his ancestry. A title prefixed to a man's name, denoting descent from the Prophet. The Báb was a siyyid. |
| [BD 212] |
|
| Descendant of the Prophet Muḥammad. The word means lord, chief, prince. Lord Curzon says of them in his Persia and the Persian Question, "an intolerable nuisance to the country, deducing from their alleged decent and from a prerogative of the green turban, the right to an independence and insolence of bearing from which their countrymen, no less than foreigners, are made to suffer." (DB xlvi). Contrast noble Siyyids "of a pure lineage." |
| [BG 48] |
|
| Descendant of the Prophet Muḥammad. |
