“Almost immediately after” the conference at Badasht: The Báb “formally and unreservedly” asserted His claim “to be the promised Qá’im”
Almost immediately after, the Báb Himself, still a prisoner,
was vindicating the acts of His disciples by asserting, formally and
unreservedly, His claim to be the promised Qá’im, in the presence of the Heir
to the Throne, the leading exponents of the Shaykhí community, and the most
illustrious ecclesiastical dignitaries assembled in the capital of Ádhirbáyján.
