The Báb dismissed the rest of His companions from Shiraz – kept Mullá ‘Abdu’l-Karím to transcribe His writings

He [the Báb] likewise dismissed the rest of His companions who had gathered in Shíráz, and bade them return to Isfáhán. He retained Mullá ‘Abdu’l-Karím, to whom He assigned the duty of transcribing His writings.
