Shoqi Rabbani writes in the book “Qarn Badi’a” page 43, line 5: “This great announcement was made on the night of Jamadiul Oula, 5th, 1260 A.H. or May, 22, 1844 in the Blesses House in Shiraz city.”

     In the book “Makatib” Vol. 2, p. 138, line 4, Abdul Baha writes: 5th of Jamadiul Oula is the day of prophetic mission of the Excellency A’la.

     Also, Abdul Baha writes in the book “Makatib” Vol.5, p. 227, line 9: “Yesterday was 5th of Jamadiul Oula was the day of the Excellency A’la’s prophetic day.”

     Ishraq Khawari also writes about Ali Muhammad Bab’s dialogue with Mulla Hussein Boshrouyee on page 49, line 18: “It was 5th of Jamadiul Oula 1260 A.H…. In the future, this night and this time will be considered as the greatest feasts.”

     Consequently, according to the Babi and Baha’i sources, the day of prophetic day of Ali Muhammad Bab has been 5th of Jamadiul Oula 1260; while a contradiction of 58 day will be arisen if the Excellency Bab’s claim for being the Imam of the time is considered.

     He writes on page 43, line 17: “This event which was mentioned was the night of 5th of Jamadiul Oula, 1260 A.H.”

     Eventually, he claimed that he was the Imam of the time himself who emerged. All the Shiite scholars’ books such as Kafi principles by late Koleyni have mentioned and written that Imam Hassan Askari has been martyred on 8th of Rabiul Awwal, 260 A.H.; so Ali Muhammad Shirazi who has introduced himself as the 12th Imam must have expressed and announced his faith on 9th of Rabiul Awwal, 260 A.H. not 1260 A.H. Assuming that he has been emerged 1000 years later, he must also have emerged on 9th of Rabiul Awwal not 5th of Jamadiul Oula 1260.

      How do Baha’is justify 58 days (From 9th, Rabiul Awwal)
