He was the cousin and brother-in-law of Táhirih and the son
of a famious mujtahid (i.e., a preeminent religious scholar) in Qazvin by the
name of Mullá ‘Abdu’l-Vahháb. He was closely associated with Tahirih while both
were in Karbala Tahirih entrusted him with a sealed letter and a verbal message
to be delivered to the Promised One whom they both sought. He was present at
the Conference of Badasht and was later killed at Shaykh Tabarsí.
