486 HAQIQATUL-WAḤI—THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION Letter of Muḥammad Fadl, Resident of Chunga 183. [ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-THIRD] SIGN―The above-mentioned Muḥammad Faḍl Aḥmadī, a resident of Chunga, writes: A man named Karīmullāh, Inspector Post Offices, Gujar Khan, stopped in Chunga in June 1904 at the house of Miyań Ghulam Nabi, Sub-Postmaster of Chunga, and I called upon him thinking he was a respectable and educated person. Then, upon seeing me, he began making unbecoming remarks about the Elect of God and Noble One-i. e. Your Holiness-then raised objections against you couched in extremely foul language, and started a debate with me. A large number of people from the village gathered. I answered his objections in a civilized manner but he started mocking and deriding you and, addressing me, announced that I would sustain grave harm within forty days and I would suffer a great loss and all would witness. I replied, 'Your prophecy is simply absurd. My refuge is with my God, but you should keep in mind that God will pun- ish him whoever is insolent towards the Promised Messiah. After announcing this, I left that rotten gathering. Only after a few days, it was heard that there had been a burglary in the Inspector's house and that much of his cherished property was stolen. Soon thereafter, there was a spate of complaints against him by people belonging to the Inspectorate of Gujar Khan. Consequently, he was transferred to a frontier district. I remain your humble servant Muḥammad Fadl Aḥmadī, Resident of Chunga, Tehsil Gujar Khan, District Rawalpindi Witness: Nizam-ud-Din, Tailor Witness: Shāh Wali (Signed) Witness: Fadl Khān (Signed)
