September 2. On this date in 1968, Ṭaráẓu’lláh Samandarí, a Hand of the Cause of God, died. Born in Qazvin to a prominent Bahá'í family, he was the son of Kázim-i-Samandar, an Apostle of Bahá’u’lláh, and his grandmother had accompanied Ṭáhirih.

Ṭaráẓu’lláh Samandarí's sister, Thurayyá Samandarí, was married to Díyá'u'lláh, the second son of his Bahá'u'lláh through his second wife Fatimih (also known as Mahd-i-'Ulya). Becuase they sided with Muhammad 'Alí in his argument with 'Abdu'l-Bahá, both Thurayyá and [Díyá'u'lláh] were declared Covenant-breakers. After his death in 1898, Díyá'u'lláh had initially been buried next to his father at the Shrine of Bahá'u'lláh at the Mansion of Bahjí. However, having been declared a Covenant-breaker, Díyá'u'lláh's remains were disinterred in 1965 in a process the Universal House of Justice described as a "purification... from past contamination."
