Meanwhile the mujtahids and ‘ulamás, dismayed at the signs
of so pervasive an influence, summoned a gathering which issued an abusive
document signed and sealed by the ecclesiastical leaders of the city,
denouncing the Báb as a heretic and condemning Him to death. Even the
Imám-Jum‘ih was constrained to add his written testimony that the Accused was
devoid of reason and judgment.
