On the fourteenth day of the month of Rabí’u’th-Thání, [April 1, 1847] the twelfth day after Naw-Rúz, Mullá Mihdíy-i-Khú’í and Mullá Muḥammad-Mihdíy-i-Kandí arrived from Tihrán. The latter, who had been closely associated with Bahá’u’lláh in Tihrán, had been commissioned by Him to present to the Báb a sealed letter together with certain gifts which, as soon as they were delivered into His hands, provoked in His soul sentiments of unusual delight. His face glowed with joy as He overwhelmed the bearer with marks of His gratitude and favour.
- Nabil (‘The Dawn-Breakers, chapter 12)
