The Báb’s visit to Medina marked the conclusion of His
pilgrimage. Regaining Jaddih, He returned to Búshihr, where one of His first
acts was to bid His last farewell to His fellow-traveler and disciple, [Quddus]
and to assure him that he would meet the Beloved of their hearts. He, moreover,
announced to him that he would be crowned with a martyr’s death, and that He
Himself would subsequently suffer a similar fate at the hands of their common
foe.
