Concerning him [Siyyid Yahyáy-i-Darábí], ‘Abdu’l-Bahá has written the following:
“This remarkable man, this precious soul, had committed to memory no less than thirty thousand traditions, and was highly esteemed and admired by all classes of people. He had achieved universal renown in Persia, and his authority and erudition were widely and fully recognized.”
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (From manuscript relating to martyrdoms in Persia; Footnotes for Chapter 9 of ‘The Dawn-Breakers’, provided by Shoghi Effendi)
