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)
