The writings of the Bab, often collectively called Bayan (exposition) (his two law books in Arabic and Persian are also called Bayan specifically), were couched in enigmatic and arcane locutions as they were phrased in the mystical and esoteric lexicon of its Shiʿi-Shaykhi milieu, but with the distinctiveness of a new authorial voice claiming divine revelation (wahy). The Bab often deliberately created out of his oeuvre a kind of messianic cryptogram to be properly decoded by the Babi messianic figure, namely, “Him whom God shall make manifest”’ (man yuzhiruhuʾllah), whom the Baha’is consider to be Mirza Husayn-ʿAli Nuri (b. 1817–d. 1892), better known as Baha’u’llah. This claim was rejected by his half-brother and head of the Babi community Yaha Azal (b. 1831–d. 1912), resulting in a split, with the majority of the Babis siding with Baha’u’llah whilst a minority sided with Yahya Azal. The former group metamorphosed into the Baha’i faith and the latter into Azalis or Bayanis.
