1849 July - Aug (Or perhaps later) | Bahá'u'lláh conceived of a plan, a plan that was endorsed by the Báb, to have the Báb appoint Mírzá Yahyá as the titular head of the Faith. Mírzá Yahyá was concealed and hidden while mention of him was on every tongue. It is speculated that as a further measure to reduce His public profile, Bahá'u'lláh retired to Karbalá via Baghdád for a period of some ten months. [UD631n234; TN37-38; GPB90; RoB1p53-54] On the subject of the successor to the Báb the Guardian states:
