ARBAÏN NUMBER TWO 13 came across this revelation written on page 242¹ of the aforesaid book: أَصْحَابُ الصُّفَّةِ. وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا أَصْحَابُ الصُّفَّةِ تَرَى أَعْيُنَهُمْ تَفِيضُ مِنَ الدَّمْعِ. . . رَبَّنَا إِنَّنَا سَمِعْنَا مُنَادِيًا يُنَادِى لِلْإِيمَانِ وَدَاعِيًا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَسِرَاجًا مُنِيرًا . يُصَلُّوْنَ عَلَيْكَ. The translation is as follows: Remember the dwellers of Suffah. ² Do you realize how magnificent in status the [Aşḥābuș-]Șuffah will be? They will be very strong of faith. You will see their eyes shedding tears, and they will call down blessings on you. 3* And they 1. See the English translation of Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya, Part 3, Sub- Footnote Number One, page 212, published in 2018. [Publisher] 2. In one corner of the Prophet's mosque in Madinah, a covered platform was prepared which was known as 'Suffah. This served as the resting place of indigent Emigrants who dedicated themselves to the worship of Allah, the company of the Holy Prophetas, and recitation of the Holy Quran. They became known as Aşḥābuş-Şuffah. [Publisher] 3. It is engrained in human behaviour and Islamic nature that a believer calls down blessings upon experiencing or witnessing some manifesta- tion of Divine power. Hence, there is an indication in the expression: يُصَلُّوْنَ عَلَيْكَ ]They will call down blessings on you'] that those who will always remain close to me shall continue to witness various kinds of Signs. Assuredly, the impression of these Signs will frequently cause tears to flow and out of intense delight and emotion-they will call down blessings upon me of their own volition. Accordingly, this is transpiring exactly so and this prophecy is being fulfilled over and over again. Every fortunate one can achieve this state on the condition he stays in my company. Author
