The Mu‘tamidu’d-Dawlih [the Governor of Isfahan] then became
aware of the truth of the Cause and manifested exemplary servitude and devotion
to His chosen ones. When some of the ignorant people in his city arose to stir
up sedition, he defended the divine Truth by affording Me protection for a
while in the privacy of the Governor’s residence. At length, having attained
the good-pleasure of God, he repaired to his habitation in the all-highest
Paradise. May God reward him graciously.… Manuchihr-Khan
