They mistreated him in whatever way they liked, and many raised the objection that all his revelations were either satanic or self-deception. They also claimed that they were the recipients of God’s revelation and pro- claimed that God had informed them that this man was a k a fir, a dajj a l, a liar, faithless, and Hell-bound. 1 ٭ 1. ٭ Munsh i Il a h i Bakhsh, the Accountant, who claims to be a recipient of Divine revelations, has recently written a book entitled ‘As a’ -e-M u s a , and in it, he indicates that I am the Pharaoh. In his book, he has written many of his revelations which signify that I am a great liar, and those who accept me as being from Allah and testify my claim to be true are donkeys [i. e. foolish]. Hence, he has also written this revelation of his:. ڈ ی ورد وگب� ی رخے دنچ. ٰولصۃ رباسکن ہک ا� ریت ی ی ٰ وتناں تشگ دصتب� ع�یس [One does not become ‘ I s a [Jesus] on the testimony of a few donkeys.

Therefore, I present two witnesses to verify Abdullah Sahib’s statement, both of whom are among the friends of Munsh i Sahib: (1) One is Ha fi z Muhammad Y u suf, a friend of Munsh i Il a h i Bakhsh. It was possible that Ha fi z Sahib, a friend of Munsh i Sahib, may have refused to give the testimony, but now we have proof that will make him consent to give the testimony. That proof shall be pre- sented right in the meeting. (2) The second witness in this regard is his brother, Munsh i Muhammad Yaq u b. His written statement is also with us. Now it is an obligation of Munsh i Il a h i Bakhsh to call a meeting and invite both these gentlemen, Ha fi z Sahib and Munsh i Mu h ammad
