Miraculously preserved by an almighty and watchful
Providence, the Báb proceeded to Isfahán (September, 1846), accompanied by
Siyyid Kázim-i-Zanjání. Another lull ensued, a brief period of comparative
tranquillity during which the Divine processes which had been set in motion
gathered further momentum, precipitating a series of events leading to the
imprisonment of the Báb in the fortresses of Máh-Kú and Chihríq, and
culminating in His martyrdom in the barrack-square of Tabríz.
