Bábí period (1844–1853) · 1 min

At a later period of danger and crisis the Spanish Consul put an Italian freighter at the disposal of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in order that He might escape during the night, but He refused to flee to safety, though the Bahá’ís begged Him to do so. Instead He sent a message to the ship’s captain: ‘The Báb did not run away; Bahá’u’lláh did not run away; I shall not run away . . .’ After three days and nights the freighter departed without the Master.
