A steady stream of visitors, whom the energy and zeal of Mullá Husayn had prepared for the acceptance of the Faith, poured into the presence of Quddús, acknowledged the claim of the Cause, and willing enlisted under its banner. … which swept over the entire city of Mashhad, and the effects of which spread rapidly beyond the confines of Khurásán.
