We perceive that which secretly and stealthily diffuseth from thee.This passage is a reference to the intrigues of a group of Azalís, followers of
Mírzá Yahyá (see note
190), associated with the city of Kirmán. They include Mullá Ja'far, his son Shaykh Ahmad-i-Rúhí and
Mírzá Áqá Khán-i-Kirmání (both sons-in-law of
Mírzá Yahyá), as well as
Mírzá <span class="highlight">Ahmad-i-Kirmání. They not only sought to undermine the Faith, but involved themselves in political intrigues which culminated in the assassination of Násiri'd-Dín Sháh.
