In the Spring-Summer of 1852, the Babis of Nayriz launched a second organized
and massive revolt against the combined forces of national and provincial
military. In the process, however, many hundreds of them perished in the
battles fought with the army, tribal and irregular forces arrayed to suppress
their uprising or died in the general massacre of the Babi men at conclusion of
the war.
The following list of the Babi martyrs during the course of this revolt was
assembled from the eyewitness narrative of Mulla Muhammad Shafi'
("Shafi"), Fadil Mazandarani's Tarikh Zuhuru'l-Haqq[1] ("ZH4"), and Muhammad Shaif'-Ruhani's
Lam'atu'l-Anvar[2] ("LA2"). As
elaborated in my forthcoming book on this subject, with near certainty, the
list in the Zuhuru'l-Haqq reflects the text of the unpublished history
of Nabil Zarandi. Also, from the specifics information (and errors) in the
text, it is clear that the Lam'atu'l-Anvar was relying exclusively on
the information provided by Zuhuru'l-Haqq vol 4 and not on the narrative
of Mulla Shafi'.
To facilitate future research, the sequence number in each source is provided
against each name, (e.g., "'Abdu'llah, son of 'Ali" is the 101th name in the
narrative of Mulla Shafi', and 109th name in Zuhuru'l-Haqq and
Lam'atu'l-Anvar).
