      got into the company of some bad people, who eventually killed him. [Revelation of Bahá’u’lláh vol 2 p 137-151]

      Note: The above Ahmad from Káshán, who was a lost soul, should not be confused with the Ahmad from Yazd, who received the well-known Tablet of Ahmad which begins with the words: “He is the King, the All-Knowing, the Wise. Lo, the Nightingale of Paradise singeth upon the twigs of the Tree of Eternity ….”.  This well-known Tablet of Ahmad is in Arabic, while the one referenced above to the Ahmad from Káshán is in Fársí. Unlike the Ahmad from Káshán, the Ahmad from Yazd was faithful. He was a true seeker and after a long search became a Bábí during the time of the Báb. He later went to Baghdád, where he met Bahá’u’lláh and recognized His station. He stayed in Baghdád for several years. When Bahá’u’lláh was exiled to Constantinople and then to Adrianople, Ahmad remained behind in Baghdád. He then decided to go to Adrianople to be with Bahá’u’lláh, but when he got to Constantinople, he received the tablet from Bahá’u’lláh (the well-known Tablet of Ahmad). Upon reading the tablet he concluded that Bahá’u’lláh was asking him to go back to Írán and teach. So, in obedience he does not go to see Bahá’u’lláh and instead returned to Írán. He stayed firm in his faith and a teacher of the Cause to end of his days. [Revelation of Bahá’u’lláh vol 2 p107-136]. For further details see Bahaichronicles: Ahmad-i-Yazdí; and Bahaipedia: Tablet of Ahmad.

      1. Hájí ‘Alí-Akbar-i-Káshání is stated to be the fourth brother [Dawn-Breakers p101, footnote 2] but no further information is available on him. We don’t know anything about what path he took in life.
