During The Battle
Over the weeks that followed, more and more Bábís joined the fort with numbers rising to perhaps six-hundred. Most notable of the late arrivals is Quddús who joined after being released by Tabarsí Bábís on October 20.
Bahá'ís see the battle, which was led by Mullá Husayn, as a heroic stand against oppressive government forces that lasted several months.

Famous quotes containing the word battle:
“In a time of war the nation is always of one mind, eager to hear something good of themselves and ill of the enemy. At this time the task of news-writers is easy, they have nothing to do but to tell that a battle is expected, and afterwards that a battle has been fought, in which we and our friends, whether conquering or conquered, did all, and our enemies did nothing.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
