278 HAQIQATUL-WAḤI—THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION 42. FORTY-SECOND SIGN-Is that God had promised a fifth 'son' in the form of a grandson; this prophecy is recorded, in the same book, Mawāhibur-Raḥmän, on page 139,' in the following manner: وَبَشَّرَنِيْ بِخَامِسٍ فِي حِيْنٍ مِّنَ الْأَحْيَانِ. Meaning that, God gave me the good news of a fifth son—who was destined to be born as a grandson in addition to the four-that he would certainly be born at some time. I received another revelation about him which was published long ago in the newspapers al-Badr and al-Ḥakam. It runs thus: إِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلَم نَافِلَةً لَّكَ نَافِلَةٌ مِّنْ عِنْدِي. Meaning that: We give you the glad tidings of yet another 'son' who will be a nāfilah [grandson]; that is, the son of a son. This nāfilah is from Us. Thus, some three months ago, a son was born to my son Mahmood Ahmad who was named Naṣir Aḥmad. So this prophecy was fulfilled after four and a half years. 43. FORTY-THIRD SIGN—Is that I had prophesied in my book Kashti- e-Nuḥ [Noah's Ark] that we would not need any vaccination in the time of plague; God would Himself protect me and all those who are in my house and, comparatively, we would remain safe, but some of those vac- cinated would suffer loss of life. Indeed, this is what actually happened. Some of those who had been vaccinated suffered to the extent of losing their eyesight and some suffered malfunction of other organs. Most of all, in Malakwal, district Gujrat, as many as nineteen people died from the vaccination at the same time. 1.
