When in Bahá'í history
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In Badasht there was a field with a stream running through
it and gardens to either side. Quddús remained concealed in one of the gardens,
and Táhirih resided in the other. A tent had been pitched for Bahá’u’lláh on
that field, and the other believers were also housed in tents erected on the
same field. In the evenings Bahá’u’lláh, Quddús, and Táhirih would meet.
Bahá’u’lláh made a solemn agreement with them that the truth of the Cause would
be proclaimed at Badasht, but no specific day was designated.
