Mulla Husayn was asked by the Báb to send Him reports of his activities

To Mullá Husayn, more particularly, the Báb gave definite injunctions to send Him a written report on the nature and progress of his activities in Isfáhán, in Tihrán, and in Khurásán. He urged him to inform Him of those who accepted and submitted to the Faith, as well as of those who rejected and repudiated its truth. “Not until I receive your letter from Khurásán,” He said, “shall I be ready to set out from this city on My pilgrimage to Hijáz.” 
(Chapter 6, ‘The Dawn-Breakers’)
