POSTSCRIPT SIGN NUMBER 72 291 Sayyed Hamid Shāh of Sialkot writes: ‘Hāfiz Sultān of Sialkot was a bitter enemy of Your Holiness. He is the one who intended to throw ashes at you in Sialkot as your ride passed by. In the end, he died of plague in this very year of 1906, along with nine or ten members of his family. Similarly, it is common knowledge in the city of Sialkot that Hakim Muhammad Shafi', who had become an apostate after entering into the covenant of allegiance and had founded Madrasatul-Quran, was your bitter enemy. This unfortunate one, due to his selfish motives, could not hold fast to the covenant of allegiance and joined hands in animosity and opposition with the residents of the sub-division Loharan of Sialkot who were bitterly opposed to you. In the end, he too became a victim of the plague. His wife, his mother, and his brother all died of the plague one after the other. Furthermore, the donors of his seminary also perished. Similarly, Mirzā Sardār Baig of Sialkot, who had exceeded all limits in inflicting insolence and vituperation and whose constant practice entailed ridicule and derision, would say everything with sarcasm and impertinence. He was afflicted with severe plague and perished. Once, addressing a member of Jamāʻat-e-Ahmadiyya, he said, 'Why are you always blabbing about the plague? I will only believe if I contract the plague!' Consequently, two days later, he died of the plague. 72. SEVENTY-SECOND SIGN-Some bitter enemies, who by way of mubāhalah had pronounced لَعْنَةُ اللهِ عَلَى الْكَذِبِينَ ]The curse of Allah be upon the liars'], died as divine chastisement overtook them; for example, Maulawi Rashid Ahmad Gangohi first became blind and then died of a snake bite. Some died after becoming insane; for exam- ple, Maulawi Shah Din of Ludhiana. Maulawi Abdul-'Azīz, Maulawī Muhammad and Maulawi ‘Abdullah of Lodhana-who were my worst enemies-all three passed away. Similarly 'Abdur-Rahman Muhy-ud- Din of Lakhukay, after his own revelation that the chastisement of God would descend upon the one who is the liar, passed away.
