472 HAQIQATUL-WAHI-THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION Dāfi'ul-Balā'i wa Miʻyāru Ahlil-Iștifā' ['Defence Against the Plague and a Criterion for the Elect of God'], I published the revelation I had received concerning Charāgh Dīn, which is as follows: إِنِّي أُذِيْبُ مَنْ يُرِيبُ [I shall punish him who doubts. ] And in Urdu, I received the following revelation concerning him: میں فنا کر دوں گا میں غارت کر دوں گا میں غضب نازل کروں گا اگر اُس نے یعنی چراغ دین نے شک کیا اور اس پر یعنی میرے مسیح موعود ہونے پر ایمان نہ لایا اور مامور من اللہ ہونے کے دعویٰ سے توبہ نہ کی 'I shall annihilate him; I shall destroy him; I shall send down My wrath if he—that is, Charāgh Din-doubts and does not believe him-that is me, being the Promised Messiah—and does not repent of his claim to be the apostle of God.

[ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY-FOURTH] SIGN-This Sign concerns Charāgh Dīn's mubāhalah, the details of which are as follows: Charāgh Din repeatedly received satanic revelations concerning me that this
