April 1848: “the Báb bade farewell to the people of Máh-Kú”

Twenty days after Naw-Rúz, the Báb bade farewell to the people of Máh-Kú, who, in the course of His nine months’ captivity, had recognised to a remarkable degree the power of His personality and the greatness of His character. 

- Nabil (‘The Dawn-Breakers’ chapter 13)
