‘Abdu’r-Rahmán, the Coppersmith 139 |
In a little while he left his home and set out for the
rose garden that was Baghdád, where he achieved the
honor of entering the presence of Bahá’u’lláh. He spent
some time in ‘Iráq, and won a crown of endless favor: he
would enter the presence of Bahá’u’lláh and many a time
would accompany Him on foot to the Shrine of the Two
Kázims; this was his great delight.

‘Abdu’r-Rahmán was among the prisoners exiled to
Mosul, and later he fairly dragged himself to the fortress
at ‘Akká. Here he lived, blessed by Bahá’u’lláh. He carried
on a small business, trifling, but he was content with it,
happy and at peace. Thus, walking the path of righteousness,
he lived to be eighty years old, at which time, serenely
patient, he soared away to the Threshold of God.
May the Lord enfold him there with His bounty and
compassion, and clothe him in the garment of forgiveness.
His luminous grave is in ‘Akká.
