After a march of two days from that village, they arrived,
on the afternoon of the eighth day after Naw-Rúz, at the fortress of
Kinár-Gird, [1] which lies six farsangs to the south of Tihrán. They were
planning to reach the capital on the ensuing day, and had decided to spend the
night in the neighbourhood of that fortress, when a messenger unexpectedly
arrived from Tihrán, bearing a written order from Hájí Mírzá Aqásí to Muhammad
Big. That message instructed him to proceed immediately with the Báb to the village
of Kulayn, where Shaykh-i-Kulayní, Muḥammad-ibn-i-Ya’qub,
the author of the Usul-i-Káfí, who was born in that place, had been laid to
rest with his father, and whose shrines are greatly honoured by the people of
that neighbourhood. circa 1935 Ruins of the Fortress of Kinar-Gird
