196. Essence of Islam-V that two yellow sheets stand for two ailments. And the word of God was bound to be fulfilled. [Ḥaqiqat-ul-Waḥi, Rūḥānī Khazā'in, vol. 22, pp. 319-320]. Once I fell seriously ill, so much so that on three different occasions my relatives-perceiving that my last moment had arrived recited Surah Ya-Sin to me, as is customary among Muslims. On the third occasion that the Surah was being recited, I saw that some of my relatives, who have since passed away, were standing behind walls, crying uncontrollably. I was suffering from a species of severe colic, and was purging blood every few minutes and continued in this condition for sixteen days. Another man who had been suffering from the same disease had died on the eighth day, even though he had not suffered as severely as I had. When the sixteenth day arrived, everybody despaired of my life, and Surah Ya-Sin was recited to me for the third time. All my relatives were now sure that I would be in my grave before sunset. Then it so happened that just as in the past God has taught some of His Prophets prayers for deliverance from afflictions, so did He teach me this prayer through revelation: 64 سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ الْعَظِيمِ - اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ. God also revealed to my heart that I should put my hand in some water from the river, mixed with some sand, and then wipe my chest, my back, my hands and 64 Holy is Allāh and worthy of all praise, Holy is Allāh the Great. . O Allah, bestow Thy blessings on Muḥammad and the people of. Muḥammad. [Publisher]
