Dayyán's claim
Some time in the 1850s, Mirza Asadullah-i-Khuy often named Dayyán was one of the first to claim this position however he was assassinated before he could attract many more than a few followers. Bahá'u'lláh indicated that it was Subh-i-Azal, a leader of the Bábís, who ordered the killing by decree[1]. ...
Nabil's claim Nabíl-i-A'zam of Zarand, the author of the book 'The Dawn Breakers', made a claim around the same time as Dayyán or perhaps shortly afterward, but withdrew his claim and became a staunch supporter of Bahá'u'lláh. Muhammad-i-ZarandÃ, surnamed NabÃl-i-Azam Mullá Muhammad-i-Zarandà (1831 - 1892), more commonly known as NabÃl-i-Azam (Nabil the Great) was an eminent Baháà historian during the time of Baháulláh, and one of the nineteen Apostles of Baháull...

Bahá'u'lláh's claim Many Bábís believed in Bahá'u'lláh's claim, first mentioned in 1863, but publically announced around 1868. Those who followed him became known as Bahá'ís. This claim was by far the most successful.

Subh-i-Azal's claim Shortly after Bahá'u'lláh's claim first started to attract attention, Subh-i-Azal is said to have made a claim to the title by Bahá'í historians[2]. It is unclear whether this is contested by Subh-i-Azal's followers as little non-Bahá'í material covers the topic. If the claim was made, it was retracted shortly later. Mirza Yahya Nuri (1831 - 29 April 1912) or often called Subh-i Azal (Morn of Eternity) was a Persian religious leader of the Bayani people (sometimes refered to as BábÃs or Azalis). ...
Notes - ↑ In his letter, the Epistle to the Son of the Wolf[3], Bahá'u'lláh directly fingered Subh-i-Azal as the origin of the order: "[Dayyán] suffered martyrdom through the decree pronounced by Mirza Yahya [Subh-i-Azal]".
- ↑ This is covered by Shoghi Effendi in God Passes By↑ : "When Bahá’u’lláh formally declared His Mission to him in Adrianople, Mirza Yahya [Subh-i-Azal] responded by going to the length of putting forward his own claim to be the recipient of an independent revelation". The Universal House of Justice reiterates this in at least one letter to a Bahá'í, although most likely uses the former as its source.
