Siyyid

He who had firmly resolved to confute the arguments of an obscure siyyid of _Sh_íráz, to induce Him to abandon His ideas, and to conduct Him to Ṭihrán as an evidence of the ascendancy he had achieved over Him, was made to feel, as he himself later acknowledged, as “lowly as the dust beneath His feet.” ❋ 1897-1957 Shoghi Effendi (1927)

The participants were the Báb, a twenty-five year old siyyid, of pure and holy lineage, and the young Mullá Ḥusayn, the first to believe in Him. ❋ 1897-1957 Shoghi Effendi (1927)

A distinguished siyyid, whose well-known integrity, acceptable conduct, and commercial reputation, were recognized by the majority of fair-minded men, and who was regarded by all as a highly honored merchant, once visited ❋ 1817-1892 Bah��'u'll��h (1854)

In view of his friendship for this Wronged One they telegraphed the Persian Dragoman informing him that this siyyid, assisted by his servant, had stolen a sum of money and other things and gone to Akká. ❋ 1817-1892 Bah��'u'll��h (1854)

Neither is there any doubt that the most notable doctors of the capital also will behave after the fashion of the doctors of Iṣfáhán, which thing will be the cause of a popular outbreak, or that, according to the religion of the immaculate Imám, they will regard the blood of this siyyid as of no account, yea, as more lawful than mother’s milk. ❋ 1844-1921 `Abdu'l-Bah�� (1882)
