As foretold by the Báb thirteen companions of Mulla Husayn arrived in Shiraz

“‘That same morning, at sunrise, soon after my return from the home of the Báb, Mullá ‘Alíy-i-Bastamí, accompanied by the same number of companions as indicated to me, arrived at the Masjid-i-Ílkhání. I immediately set about to provide the means for their comfort.’” 
- Mulla Husayn  (Quoted by Nabil in chapter 3 of ‘The Dawn-Breakers’)
