      Mullá Husayn’s nephew, Mírzá Muhammad-Báqir, was also alive on the day the companions went forth from the fort. … a written account of what transpired day [notes]: 

      “When the companions were leaving the fort, we all went to the tomb of Mullá Husayn to say farewell to him. We all were weeping. And when we at last started to go, little Mírzá Muhammad-Báqir did not want to leave the tomb. He embraced it and wept bitterly. The companions tried to separate him but he would not agree, and said he would never leave the tomb. We told Quddús about it, and as he had already mounted his horse, he ordered us to mount him and take him with us. They put him on a horse, but after a short ride, he fainted and fell down.
