Arriving in Qum, Mullá Husayn found its people utterly
unprepared to heed his call. The seeds he sowed among them did not germinate
until the time when Bahá’u’lláh was exiled to Baghdád. In those days Hájí Mírzá
Músá, a native of Qum, embraced the Faith, journeyed to Baghdád, and there met
Bahá’u’lláh. He eventually quaffed the cup of martyrdom in His path.

4, ‘The Dawn-Breakers’)
