414 HAQIQATUL-WAḤI—THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION replied “The curse of Allah be upon the liars'] con- cerning him. And I wished chastisement from God Almighty for him as, while writing the book Fath-e-Islām, I had published it and I had written the following [Quranic prayer challenge]: تَعَالَوْا نَدْعُ أَبْنَاءَنَا وَ أَبْنَاءَكُمْ وَ نِسَآءَنَا وَنِسَاءَكُمْ وَ اَنْفُسَنَا وَ اَنْفُسَكُمْ ثُمَّ نَبْتَهِلْ فَنَجْعَل لَّعْنَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْكَذِبِينَ. [Come, let us call our sons and your sons, and our women and your women, and our people and your people; then let us pray fervently and invoke the curse of Allah upon the liars. ] Accordingly, about a year had elapsed since this mubahalah [prayer duel] that he suddenly suffered some unexpected illness and died.
