Quddús, with feelings of unshakable determination to carry
out the expressed wishes of his Master, set out from Búshihr. Arriving at
Shíráz, he was affectionately welcomed by Hájí Mírzá Siyyid ‘Alí, who received
him in his own home and eagerly enquired after the health and doings of his
beloved Kinsman. Finding him receptive to the call of the new Message, Quddús
acquainted him with the nature of the Revelation with which that Youth had
already fired his soul. The Báb’s maternal uncle, as a result of the endeavours
exerted by Quddús, was the first, after the Letters of the Living, to embrace
the Cause in Shíráz. - Nabil (‘The Dawn-Breakers’; translated and edited by
Shoghi Effendi)
