[Footnote ET: They were [_Sh_]ay[_kh_] Muḥammad [_Sh_]ibl and his son, Áqá Muḥammad-Muṣṭafá, and [_Sh_]ay[_kh_] Sulṭán-i-Karbilá'í.] [Footnote EU: Mullá Ḥusayn's sword is in the International Archives of the Bahá'í Faith.] At Qazvín, Ṭáhirih refused to be reunited with her husband and went to her father's house. Her impetuous uncle, Ḥájí Mullá Taqí, felt greatly insulted and his wrath knew no bounds. His denunciation of those whom he considered to be responsible for his daughter-in-law's waywardness became fiercer than ever before. [_Sh_]ay[_kh_] Aḥmad and Siyyid Káẓim were the particular targets of his vilification. Then, one morning at dawn, he was found in the mosque, fatally stabbed. Immediately the Bábís were accused of his murder, and even Ṭáhirih was considered guilty, was kept under close watch, and her life was in danger. Although a [_Sh_]írází[3] confessed that he had slain Ḥájí Mullá Taqí because of his rabid animosity towards [_Sh_]ay[_kh_] Aḥmad and Siyyid Káẓim, three Bábís, totally innocent of the crime, were put to death--[_Sh_]ay[_kh_] Ṣáliḥ-al-Karímí in Ṭihrán, and Mullá Ibráhím-i-Maḥallatí and Mullá Ṭáhir in Qazvín. These three were the first martyrs of the Bábí Faith in Persia itself, and their deaths constituted the first public execution of Bábís.[EV] Ḥájí Asadu'lláh, a well-known merchant of the Farhádí family, was also martyred, while in prison, by partisans of Ṭáhirih's husband, the Imám-Jum`ih of Qazvín, and a report was circulated that he had died from natural causes. [Footnote EV: It is of interest that [_Sh_]ay[_kh_] Ṣáliḥ, martyred in Persia, was a native of `Iráq, while the first martyr of the Bábí Faith, Mullá `Alíy-i-Basṭámí, was a Persian who met his death in `Iráq.] Ṭáhirih was now totally isolated. Bahá'u'lláh gave the task of rescuing her to Mírzá Hádí, the nephew of the martyred Ḥájí Asadu'lláh. This young man, who had left Qazvín at the outset of agitation against the Bábís, returned at the risk of his life and successfully carried out his mission. Ṭáhirih reached Ṭihrán in safety. Thus it was that she could be at the conference of Bada[_sh_]t, where she rendered her most signal service to the Faith of the Báb. The Conference of Bada[_sh_]t
