After Siyyid Kázim’s death, Shaykh Hasan’s internal compass was this promise of Siyyid Kázim to him. Time passed, and then one day Shaykh Hasan heard that a Youth from ShĂráz had raised the call, that He was the Qá’im. Immediately, the vision of the gentle mannered, dignified Youth in the green turban in Karbalá’ flashed in Shaykh Hasan’s mind, and he realized that this must be the Qá’im. 58ACT1
And it was. Shaykh Hasan will not only recognise and accept the Báb as the Qá’im, but in fact become His amanuensis [scribe and secretary] for an extended period during the Báb’s travels and imprisonment. The story of Shaykh Hasan, his work as the Báb’s amanuensis, and the Báb’s prophecy to him that he would meet Bahá’u’lláh and how it came true is described by NabĂl in the Dawn-Breakers. 59ACT1
