According to Mírzá Abu’l-Fadl (manuscript, p. 66), the name of the Imám-Jum’ih of Isfáhán was Mír Siyyid Muhammad, and his title “Suitánu’l-‘Ulamá’.” “The office of Sadru’s-Sudur, or chief priest of Safaví times, was abolished by Nadir Sháh, and the Imám-Jum’ih of Isfáhán is now the principal ecclesiastical dignitary of Persia.”
