Traveling through rain and storm, at times even making night marches, the weary travelers, after brief halts at Kuchik- Chakmachih, Buyuk- Chakmachih, Salvari, Birkas, and Baba- Iski, arrived at their destination, on the first of Rajab 1280 A.H. (December 12, 1863), and were lodged in the Khan- i- 'Arab, a two- story caravanserai, near the house of Izzat- Aqa. Three days later, Baha'u'llah and His family were consigned to a house suitable only for summer habitation, in the Muradiyyih quarter, near the Takyiy- i- Mawlavi, and were moved again, after a week, to another house, in the vicinity of a mosque in that same neighborhood. About six months later they transferred to more commodious quarters, known as the house of Amru'llah (House of God's command) situated on the northern side of the mosque of Sultan Salim.
