Yielding to his persistent request, I accompanied him to the residence of Maulavi Sahib one evening and found him in the mosque with his father. To cut a long story short, when I heard the views of Maulavi Sahib, I concluded that there was nothing objectionable in what he said. . Therefore, merely for the sake of Allāh, I forbore to hold a debate with him.

Thereafter, in a vision, I was shown the kings riding upon horses. Since I had adopted humility and disgrace purely for the sake of God and His Messengers, the Absolutely Benevolent did not desire to leave this act of mine unrewarded.

Once Khalifa Sayyed Muḥammad Ḥasan, minister of the State of Patiāla, wrote to me in a state of great anxiety and requested me to pray for him. Since he had rendered services to our Jama'at on several occasions, I prayed for him and received this revelation from God: چل رہی ہے نسیم رحمت کی جو دُعا کیجیئے قبول ہے آج 54 53 Your God is well pleased with what you have done. He shall bless you greatly, so much so that kings shall seek blessings from your garments. [Publisher] 54 Blowing is the breeze of Divine grace,. All that you pray for shall be granted this day.
