Among the men who in Karbilá eagerly embraced, through the
efforts of Táhirih, the Cause of the Báb, was a certain Shaykh Sálih, an Arab
resident of that city who was the first to shed his blood in the path of the
Faith, in Tihrán. She was so profuse in her praise of Shaykh Sálih that a few
suspected him of being equal in rank to Quddús.
