“Meanwhile the turmoil, the intense discussions, the scandal continued in Shíráz, so much so that, annoyed by all this uproar and fearful of the outcome, Hájí Mírzá Aqásí ordered Husayn Khán Nizámu’d-Dawlih to be done with the Reformer and to have him killed immediately and secretly.”
- A. L. M. Nicolas (“Siyyid ‘Alí-Muhammad dit le Báb,” p. 235.; Footnotes to chapter 9 included by Shoghi Effendi)
