Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih - The Man 181 Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih I ra examined his wife and gave the necessary medicine. The tehsildaar accompanied Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih I ra to the station, bought a rail ticket for Delhi and gave to him a hundred rupees in cash. Such incidents leave one with the unmistakable impression that Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih I ra achieved a remarkable trust and reliance in his God. How do you explain this event other than sheer Divine grace! Once he was away from his home, and had no food for three days, yet neither did he ask anyone, nor did he tell anyone about it. About the time of Maghrib prayer, he went to a mosque. The people came and offered their prayers, and went away, and he was all-alone. Suddenly, he heard someone saying, "Noor-ud-Deen, take this tray of food," he did not bother to look at the person. He took the tray and took the food, for he knew very well that the tray was sent by no one else other than God. And, after the meal, he hung the utensils on a peg in the mosque. When he came back to the same mosque after nine or ten days, the same utensils were still hanging around that peg. Then it became very apparent that what he believed about the tray being sent by God was true. Affability and Kindness It is a saying of the Holy Prophet sa , "Allah loves those most who love his creation. " Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih I ra was not merely a scholar of the Hadith and a narrator in his own right of forty Ahadith, but he knew the very essence of these Ahadith and insisted in acting upon them and would mould his conduct and character within the confines of the Sayings of the Holy Prophet sa , who was his beloved as well. Whenever he saw anyone in pain or in trouble, his heart would be full of sympathy for that person and he would do whatever he could. Empathy
