[BR] Táríkh-i-Jadíd (p. 202) names a fourth person, a certain Mullá Abú-Ṭálib, a friend of Mullá Ṣádiq-i-Muqaddas. His identity is unknown. A letter exists, written by Mullá `Alí-Akbar-i-Ardistání to the Báb, when he was seeking permission to visit Him. Since their chastisement, he says, he had been living in ruins outside Shíráz. The letter makes it absolutely certain that he was the only one who had remained and that both Quddús and Muqaddas had gone.
