Late Aga Rizvi said that the Late Bedabadi came to Shiraz by the route of Bushahar on way to Ziyarat of Medina. He stayed there for around two months. During those days, people were roughly divided into two groups. Some wanted democracy while some were in favor of autocracy. The Late Bedabadi wanted reconciliation between the two groups and was always concerned that there should be no violence. He was always striving in this regard and tried much to remove this discord.

So much so, that he personally met Shaykh Muhammad Baqir Istihbanani, a supporter of democracy and tried all means to remove this mischief, but it was of no use. After that he abruptly decided to leave Shiraz. We tried to persuade him to stay for some more time, but he did not agree. He said: Very soon discord and violence would take place in city, in which a number of people would be killed and blood would be shed.

He set out from there and some persons having a saintly bent of mind also accompanied him, including Late Hajj Sayyid Abbas alias Bahdalal and Late Aga Mirza Mahdi Hasanpour. These two gentlemen were attached to the Great Masjid.

They narrated to me: We remained in the company of Aga Bedabadi till Dast Arzan. On reaching there, the Aga told us: The fire of mischief has flared up in Shiraz. Hajj Shaykh Muhammad Baqir Istihbanani has been killed along with some others. Your people are much worried, you should go home. So we two, and some other persons (whose names I could not remember), came back to Shiraz and witnessed the state described by Aga Bedabadi.
