1848: Mullá Husayn met Bahá’u’lláh in Tihrán

In Tihrán he was again privileged to enter the presence of Bahá’u’lláh and to receive from His hands that spiritual sustenance which enabled him, with such undaunted courage, to brave the perils that so fiercely assailed the closing days of his life. 

- Nabil (‘The Dawn-Breakers’ chapter 14)
