Sulaymáníyyih
___________________
Pronunciation: sol-ay-mawn-ee-yeh
___________________
A town in Kurdish Iraq; it was in the mountains surrounding Sulaymáníyyih that Bahá'u'lláh resided from April 1854 to 1856
 
As a result of dissension among the Bábís in Bag̲h̲dád and the sedition of Mírzá Yaḥyá, Bahá'u'lláh had decided to retire to the wilderness and left Bag̲h̲dád, living in seclusion on a mountain called Sar-Galú. During this period, Áqá Abu'l-Qásim-i-Hamadání was His only companion. To conceal His identity, Bahá'u'lláh dressed as a dervish and took the name Darvís̲h̲ Muḥammad-i-Iraní. The inhabitants of the area came to revere Him, particularly the local Ṣúfís, who sought Him out for explanations of mystical works. At their request He composed a poem called Qaṣídiy-i-'Izz-i-Varqá'íyyih, which originally consisted of 2000 couplets, only 127 of which Bahá'u'lláh allowed to be preserved.
[BD 214-5]
