Section One: Bahá’u’lláh’s Imprisonment in the Síyáh-Chál
The news of the assassination attempt on the Sháh
On 15 August 1852, Bahá’u’lláh was staying in the village of Afchih, Lavásán as a guest of the Grand Vazír’s brother, when the news of the attempt on the life of Násiri’d-Dín Sháh reached Him. The Grand Vazír’s brother sent Him a confidential message urging Him to remain concealed in the neighbourhood, because the mother of the Sháh was denouncing many as potential collaborators of the assassination attempt and Bahá’u’lláh was on that list.
