The author of Rowzat-al-Safa has written: “During the days, he was under the hot sun to dominate on the sun to such an extent that the humidity of his nose was disappeared[3] due to the sun.[4]”
It is written in “Hasht Behesht”: “He was standing under the hot sun during the days: Boushehr city on the roof and was reciting prayers, recitals[5] It is written in Nabil Zarandi’s history book: “Most of the time, the Excellency Bab was busy trading in Boushehr city. During the day, he went to the roof for some hours and prayed. It was extremely hot. He was worshipping from the morning to evening… But the ignorant people thought he was worshipping the sun.[6]” Abdul Hussein Ayati[7] has written in this regard: “Ali Muhammad Shirazi was famous as “Seyyed of recitals” due to his isolation, sitting on the roof, reciting incantation. Then, he gradually became prayer writer.[8]”
