Isfahan: “an unceasing stream of visitors flowed from every quarter to the house of the Imám-Jum’ih” to see the Báb

As the Báb’s fame was being gradually diffused over the entire city of Isfáhán, an unceasing stream of visitors flowed from every quarter to the house of the Imám-Jum’ih: a few to satisfy their curiosity, others to obtain a deeper understanding of the fundamental verities of His Faith, and still others to seek the remedy for their ills and sufferings. 

- Nabil  (‘The Dawn-Breakers’, chapter 10)
