From Níyávarán He [Baha’u’llah] was conducted “on foot and
in chains, with bared head and bare feet,” exposed to the fierce rays of the
midsummer sun, to the Síyáh-Chál of Ṭihrán.
On the way He several times was stripped of His outer garments, was overwhelmed
with ridicule, and pelted with stones.
- Shoghi Effendi (‘God Passes By’)
