Quddús’ route from Shíráz to Bárfurúsh. Route outlined is an approximation as details of all stops are not known. His main stops were: Shíráz to Kirmán, Yazd, Ardikán, Náyin, Ardistán, Isfáhán, Káshán, Qum, Tihrán and eventually to his hometown of Bárfurúsh [nowadays called Bábol]. 61ACT4
In Tihrán, Quddús was admitted into the presence of Bahá’u’lláh. We don’t have a record of the meeting with Bahá’u’lláh, but Mírzá Músá, the younger brother of Bahá’u’lláh, describes his own meeting with Quddús in Tihrán like this:
The charm of his person, his extreme affability, combined with a dignity of bearing, appealed to even the most careless observer. Whoever was intimately associated with him was seized with an insatiable admiration for the charm of that youth. We watched him one day perform his ablutions, and were struck by the gracefulness which distinguished him from the rest of the worshippers in the performance of so ordinary a rite. He seemed, in our eyes, to be the very incarnation of purity and grace. 64ACT4
