Táhirih arrived in Karbilá 10 days after Siyyid Kazim had passed away

From Qazvín she [Táhirih] left for Karbilá, hoping to meet Siyyid Kázim, but arrived too late, the Siyyid having passed away ten days before her arrival. She joined the companions of the departed leader, and spent her time in prayer and meditation, eagerly expecting the appearance of Him whose advent Siyyid Kázim had foretold. (“Memorials of the Faithful”, pp. 291–8
