A leading clergy “began to calumniate the Báb from the pulpit in the most unseemly language”

Muhammad-Mihdí, surnamed the Safihu’l-’Ulama’, son of the late Hájí Kalbásí, in his desire to gratify the wish and to earn the esteem of Hájí Mírzá Aqásí, began to calumniate the Báb from the pulpit in the most unseemly language. 

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