Nabíl's chronicle records that in the early summer of 1850, Siyyid Yaḥyá-i-Dárábí — known as Vaḥíd — withdrew with his followers from the city of Nayríz to the small fort at Khájih in the surrounding hills, where for several months he held off the forces of the governor of Fárs before being deceived, surrendered, and put to death.
Siyyid Yaḥyá-i-Dárábí, called Vaḥíd, was one of the most learned men of his age — sent by the Sháh himself to refute the Báb, he came away His devoted disciple. In 1850 his teaching set the city of Nayríz aflame with faith, and when the army came he withdrew with a small band to a hilltop fort and held it for months.
