I have heard Hájí Siyyid Javád-i-Karbilá’í recount the following:
“Whilst journeying to India, I passed through Búshihr. As I
was already acquainted with Hájí Mírzá Siyyid ‘Alí, I was enabled to meet the
Báb on several occasions. Every time I met Him, I found Him in such a state of
humility and lowliness as words fail me to describe. His downcast eyes, His
extreme courtesy, and the serene expression of His face made an indelible
impression upon my soul. I often heard
those who were closely associated with Him testify to the purity of His
character, to the charm of His manners, to His self-effacement, to His high
integrity, and to His extreme devotion to God."
