The Báb’s maternal uncle – The Báb’s “shield and support and the trusted guardian of both His mother and His wife”

The Báb’s maternal uncle, the only father He had known since His childhood, His shield and support and the trusted guardian of both His mother and His wife, had, moreover, been sundered from Him by the axe of the executioner in Tihrán.
