Besides these four full siblings, Bahá’u’lláh had many half-siblings whose relationship to Bahá’u’lláh varied in their adult lives. Of the half-siblings, only one [Muhammad-Qulí whose mother was Mírzá Buzurg’s sixth wife] became a faithful follower of Bahá’u’lláh. Most of the other half-siblings either kept neutral or avoided getting involved with Bahá’u’lláh. The exceptions were Mírzá Taqí, whose mother was Mírzá Buzurg’s third wife; and Mírzá Yahyá, whose mother was Mírzá Buzurg’s fourth wife. Both these half-brothers actively opposed Bahá’u’lláh, and Mírzá Yahyá went so far as to poison Bahá’u’lláh. 66ACT3
