[BBR265; BKG247; CH129–30; RB2:333] RB2:333 indicates this took place towards the end of Bahá'u'lláh's stay in Adrianople. About 70 people were exiled. [GPB178; RB2:334] Estimate given by Hájí Mirzá Haydar-;Alí is 80. (DOH12] See BKG184 for an illustration of Mosul. See BKG183 for a description of the city. See RB2:334 for the hardships suffered by the exiles. They remained in Mosul for some 20 years until Bahá'u'lláh advised the community to disband (1885-1886). Their hardship was lessened by generous contributions from the King of Martyrs and the Beloved of Martyrs. A charity fund was established, the first fund of that kind in any Bahá'í community.
