Quddús living in Barfurúsh – a town in the province of Mázindarán

Quddús was at that time living in Barfurúsh [now known as Bábol] in the home which had originally belonged to his own father. He freely associated with all classes of people, and by the gentleness of his character and the wide range of his learning had won the affection and unqualified admiration of the inhabitants of that town.
