After his return from Mecca, the Báb was arrested in Bushihr and taken into custody to the residence of Husayn Khan Nazimu’l Dowla the Governor of Fars. On the same Friday, the Báb was pressured by the Ulama particularly the Imam Jum'ih of Shiraz to publicly renounce His earlier claims in the grand Mosque of Vakil in front of a congregation of the faithful. The Báb attended the prayer session and publicly denied his claim to the position of 'Deputyship' of the Hidden Imam.

On the pulpit of Vakil Mosque in front of the people, Bab announced: "God's curse be upon the one who recognizes me as the representative of the occulted Imam. God's curse be upon the one who recognizes me as the 'gate' of the hidden Imam."
