1848 4 Sep [184-]	The death of the chronically ill Muhammad Sháh whom Shoghi Effendi described as bigoted, sickly and vacillating. [BBR153–4; GPB4; Encyclopædia Iranica] This precipitated the downfall of the Grand Vizier, Hájí Mírzá Áqásí because many of Tehran's elite arose against him. [Bab147; BBD19; BBR156] For details of his life, fall and death in Karbila on the 1st of August, 1849, see BBR154–6 and BKG52–5. The edict for Bahá'u'lláh's arrest was rendered null.
