Bahá’u’lláh transferred His residence to the town of Sulaymáníyyih

Shortly after this contact was established, [a certain Shaykh, a resident of Sulaymáníyyih] Shaykh Ismá‘íl, the leader of the Khálidíyyih Order, who lived in Sulaymáníyyih, visited Him, and succeeded, after repeated requests, in obtaining His consent to transfer His residence to that town.
