Mirza Ghulam Ahmad 37 the refuse of worthless people and replicated the follies of the ignorant. Everything that you have said had been said before you and was tarnished by igno- rance even greater than yours. You have not said anything from yourself; you have only plagia- rized the works of the ignorant. I find such expressions in your book that smell like rotten fish and stink like a putrid carcass, and I find them to be full of petty and hollow artificialities and the laughing stock of people. You have done all this just to snatch loaves of bread from mosques and to achieve the approbation of the people like the one over- powered by his passions, and not for the sake of God, the Lord of the worlds. O ye who abandoned the truth and lied! You have cast aside the Holy Quran; you know nothing but mad ravings and walk like the blind, and you know nothing except walking the paths of falsehood and running wild in the streets of mischief. الفضول، واتبعت َ جهالت الجهول، ً قیل من قبلك، ال ّ قو ال وما قلت إ ونُسج بجهل أكبر من جهلك، بضاعة سرقت َ بل نطقت وما الكمك إال ی ِ الجاهلین. وما نری ف عبارتك التي نجد ریحه كسَهك الحیتان المتعفنة، ونتن ِ الجیفة المنتنة، ونراه مملوًّا من تكلّفات باردة ركیكة، وضحكة الضاحكین. وفعلت َ كل ذلك لرُغفان المساجد، وابتغاء ِ مرضاة الخَلق كالواجد، ال لل ّٰ رب ّ العالمین. یامن ترَك الصدق ومانَ، قد نبذت الفرقان، وال تعلم إال الهذیان، وتمشي كالعمین، ال تعلم إال االختراق في مسالك الزور، واالنصالت في سكك الشرور، وال تتقي براثن االٔسد وتسعی كالعُمي
