[BBR172–3; BBRSM:30; BW18:382; BKG87; MF203] She was martyred in the Ílkhání garden, strangled with her own silk handkerchief which she had provided for the purpose. Her body was lowered into a well which was then filled with stones. [BBD220; DB622–8; GPB75] See GPB73–5 for a history of her life. See the story of her martyrdom and her life in the article in Radio France International. 'Abdu'l-Bahá is reported to have said: She went to that garden with consummate dignity and composure. Everyone said that they were going to kill her, but she continued to cry out just as she had before, declaring, "I am that trumpet-call mentioned in the Gospel!" It was in this state that she was martyred in that garden and cast into a well.
