Nabíl, in The Dawn-Breakers, describes the encounter
that took place in Najaf between Mullá ‘Alíy-i-Bastamí, one
of the Letters of the Living, and Shaykh Muḥammad-Ḥasan.
During the meeting, Mullá ‘Alí announced the manifestation
of the Báb and extolled the potency of His
Revelation. At the instigation of the shaykh, Mullá ‘Alí was
forthwith pronounced a heretic and expelled from the
assembly. He was put on trial, transported to Istanbul, and
condemned to hard labour.
