     Bahaismiran:.

 In 1229 A.H., he entered into Kermanshah city when he wanted to visit the holy shrines of Karbala and Najaf cities as pilgrim. He was welcomed by people and the prince Muhammad Ali Mirza Dolatshah, Kermanshah ruler. He dwelled in Kermanshah insisted by the ruler.

     Mirza Muhammad Tonekaboni, narrate the following story to indicate the depth of prince Muhammad Ali Mirza's attachment to Sheikh. Of course, the story indicates Sheikh's trickery. "At times, Sheikh was in dept. so, the board-minded prince, Muhammad Ali Mirza said to Sheikh to sell him heaven in lieu of paying one thousand Tumans. So, Sheikh sold him a heaven and wrote him as security and sealed it with his ring and gave it to the prince and received one thousand Tumans to pay his depts.[1]"

     "Sheikh Abdul Reza Ibrahimi, the last leader of Sheikism and one of Karim Khan Kermani's offspring hasn’t rejected the issue and writes in a short epistle written to reject the book" the Colonialism hired-workers in religion cloth: "maybe, there has been something and something has been added to it.[2]" Then he mentions a tradition by the holy prophet (peace be upon him) and tries to justify the story: "A person who obeys God and prays in first day of the lunar month of Sha'ban, then he has been hung from a branch of Touba tree and a person who decrease his/her depts.; so he will be hung from a branch of it…" for instance, this tradition and the like have been mentioned and the prince Ali Muhammad Mirza has desired to achieve this reward paying Sheikh's debt and some people like the author of the book "the hired-workers" wanted to say Sheikh has sold heaven…[3]"

     Anyway, Sheikh Ahmad headed off towards Mashhad in 1237 A.H. when Dolatshah died. In the middle of the way he dwelled in Qazvin city for a while.
