The Finality of Bab
Bahaismiran:
Q: How did Bab\'s sedition finish?
A: Amir the Great issued Bab\'s execution order.
E\'tezad-al-saltaneh writes in this regard: \"Amir the Great who was the chancellor of Iran stated the king that as long as Bab is alive, his disciples don’t become relaxed. It is better for Bab to be executed and this sedition will vanish. The king said Hajji Mirza Aqasi made a mistake to order Mirza Ali Muhammad Shirazi to be imprisoned in Chehriq and not to be brought to the court. The ordinary people thought he is a wonder worker. If he had made Ali Muhammad Shirazi free to come to the court and to speak with people they would have found out that He couldn’t perform miracles.\"

Amir the Great
Bab was brought to Tabriz again. After debates for a month, the prince Heshmatudduleh Hamzeh Mirza the then ruler of Tabriz sent Bab with several soldiers to the scholar\'s house for religious proclamation to be issued. Mirza Mahdi Khan Zaeemudduleh Hekmat narrates: \"I showed Bab round the city for people to see while he had worn a hat. He was chained while he was walking on barefoot. Those three people, Bab, Mulla, Muhammad Ali and seyyed Hussein Yazdi referred to Mirza Baqer Mojtahed. He issued execution verdict (religious proclamation). Then Bab was taken to Mulla Muhahammad Mamaqani\'s house. There were several people in the meeting: my father, my grandfather, Hajji Mirza Abdul Karim and Mirza Hassan Zandazi Molqian. When Bab entered the house the landlord cherished and respected him and said: \"Do you insist on your belief? That is, are you the promised Mahdi (P.H)?
Ali Muhammad said: Yes.
Mamaqani said: Now, it is necessary for you to be killed.
Late Mulla Muhammad Taqi, late Mamaqani\'s son, writes in a treatise written due to king naseruddin\'s plea because he was present in every stage of Ali Muhammad Sirazi\'s events and execution:
\"First, Ali Muhammad Shirazi was taken to Hajj Mirza Baqer, Hajj Mirza Ahmad Mojtahed\'s son in Tabriz. Then, he was taken to Hojjatul Islam\'s father\'s house. Bab was sat against the father and the father advised him pityingly. Then he became disappointed and said: nobody accepts a person who claims so. What is your reason?
Bab answered fearlessly: what are your reason for your advice? The father laughed and said: you are claiming. You, yourself must tell your reason. I haven’t claimed to offer a reason.
Ali Muhammad Shirazi said: My reason is the scholars\' confirmations.
The scholars who confirmed you aren’t wise they are ignorant.
Bab said: My writings are my reason.
He said: I have studied your writings. They are nothing but absurd words.
Ali Muhammad Shirazi said: Everybody has confirmed my writings.
He said: can you perform any miracle?
Bab said: I offered my reason.
He said: it is better to change your idea and reject your claims.
Ali Muhammad said: Never.
Then Ali Muhammad turned to him and said: do you issue my execution religious proclamation?
He said: it doesn’t need. Your words and claims are indicating you are apostate.
Ali Muhammad said: No, I ask you.
He said: Now, you are insisting and I say yes. As long as you claim so you are apostate and it is necessary for you to be murdered; but if you repent, I will save you.
Then, Ali Muhammad was taken to the garrison ground. There were a lot of famous and rich people. The rich people came to Bab and asked him to reject his claims. However, he didn’t pay attention.
The soldiers entered the garrison ground. Sam khan was the commander.
They fastened Mulla Muhammad Ali and Ali Muhammad Bab. Sam khan ordered the soldiers to shoot. They shot.
