Known as the Antichrist of the Bahá'í Revelation, Siyyid Muḥammad of Iṣfahán was a Bábí of unsavoury character and personal ambition who induced Mírzá Yaḥyá to oppose Bahá'u'lláh and proclaim prophethood for himself. Although an Azalí, Siyyid Muḥammad was included by the Turkish authorities in the group of exiles sent to 'Akká with Bahá'u'lláh. There he continued to agitate and plot against Bahá'u'lláh. When he tried to instigate a mob attack against Bahá'u'lláh's house, seven of the Bahá'í exiles killed him, to the anguish of Bahá'u'lláh. This action placed Bahá'u'lláh in peril and caused Him to be subjected to imprisonment and interrogation. |
