This martyr was the Letter of the Living, Mullá Yúsuf-i-Ardibílí, who was known wherever he went for his learning, his enthusiasm and eloquence. He had travelled through many parts of the land. The Báb had given him very specific instructions about when he should go to Mázindarán: “You must visit the towns and cities of Persia and summon their inhabitants to the Cause of God. On … [27 November 1848] you must be in Mázindarán and must arise to lend every assistance in your power to Quddús.” Mullá Yúsuf, faithful to the instructions of his Master, refused to prolong his stay beyond a week in any of the towns and cities which he visited. On his arrival in Mázindarán, he was made captive by the forces of Prince Mihdí-Qulí Mírzá, who immediately recognised him and gave orders that he be imprisoned. He was released, by the companions of Mullá Ḥusayn on the day of the battle of Vás-Kas, when they entered the base camp of the Prince [DB 19-20 Part B, Section 2], and from then on joined the other Bábís in the fort. 46_ACT10 :
