The pure reason for martyrdom is love of Truth, and therefore love of God

Thank you

Small correction that Sam khan who was Christian was the leader of the first group who shots didnt harm the Bab and then he left the scene and second group led by a moslem guy then fired shots who killed the Bab and Annis

Thank you for sharing the story of the beloved BAB step by step historically, I know you try to cover as much as possible , but born in Urumieh , my best memory is when my Dad took me before sunrise to see the bath beloved BAB used as well as me kissing every step leading to the upper room where The Bab stayed for short time there.. The beloved BAB also stayed in that city because the officials decided that it was inadvisable to pass through the town of Khuy, which lay on their route to the capital of Adhirbayjan. They decided to go by way of Urumiyyih and thus avoid the demonstrations which the excited populace in Khuy were likely to make as a protest against the tyranny of the government. When the Bab arrived at Urumiyyih, Malik Qasim Mirza ceremoniously received Him and accorded Him the warmest hospitality. In His presence, the prince acted with extraordinary deference and refused to allow the least disrespect on the part of those who were allowed to meet Him. On a certain Friday when the Bab was going to the public bath, the prince, who was curious to test the courage and power of his Guest, ordered his groom to offer Him one of his wildest horses to ride. Apprehensive lest the Bab might suffer any harm, the attendant secretly approached Him and tried to induce Him to refuse to mount a horse that had already overthrown the bravest and most skilful of horsemen. "Fear not," was His reply. "Do as you have been bidden, and commit Us to the care of the Almighty." The inhabitants of Urumiyyih, who had been informed of the intention of the prince, had filled the public square, eager to witness what might befall the Bab. As soon as the horse was brought to Him, He quietly approached it and, taking hold of the bridle which the groom had offered Him, gently caressed it and placed His foot in the stirrup. The horse stood still and motionless beside Him as if conscious of the power which was dominating it. The multitude that watched this most unusual spectacle marvelled at the(last part I quoted from the Dawn Breakers of Nabil Zarandi Thank you I benefited slot from you wonderful talk and research.
