"The Nayrizis welcomed Siyyid Yahya with the greatest enthusiasm.
Barely two days after his arrival, a large number came to see him by night
out of fear of the government, says the Fars-Namih, and offered their
services, for they hated their rulers. Others, mostly residents of the
district of Chinar-Sukhtih, were converted in great numbers. Their
example was contagious and soon the Babis could count, in their midst, the
tullabs of Chinar-Sukhtih who numbered about one hundred, their chief
Haji Shaykh Abdu'l-'Ali, father of the wife of Siyyid Yahya, the late
Akhund Mulla Abdu'l-Husayn, an aged gentleman well versed in religious
literature, Akhund Mulla Baqir, Pish-namaz of the district, Mulla Ali
Katib, another Mulla Ali with his four brothers, and the kad-khuda, and
the Rish-Safid, and other citizens from the quarter called `Bazar', such
as the late Mashhadi Mirza Husayn called Qutb, with all of his family
and his relatives, Mirza Abu'l-Qasim who was the nephew of the governor!
Haji Muhammad-Taqi surnamed Ayyub and his son-in-law Mirza Husayn and
many others from the quarter of the Siyyid, and the son of Mirza Nawra,
and Mirza Ali-Rida, son of Mirza Husayn, and the son of Haji Ali,
etc., etc. All were converted, some at night in deadly fear, others openly
and fearlessly." (A. L. M. Nicolas' "Siyyid Ali-Muhammad dit le Bab,"
p. 393.)
