POSTSCRIPT-SIGN NUMBER 184 487 184. [ONE HUNDred eighty-fourth] SIGN-Once a letter was received from Patiala, from Sayyed Muḥammad Ismā‘īl, my wife's real brother, who is currently an Assistant Surgeon, that his mother had passed away, and it was also written at the end of the letter that Isḥāq, his younger brother, too had died and it was urged that we should come at once. It so happened that the letter came at a time when my wife was ill with high fever and I was afraid that if she were informed of the contents of the letter her life would be put at risk. At that time my heart felt great anguish. In that anguish I was informed by God Almighty that the report about the death was incorrect. I informed the late Maulawi ‘Abdul-Karim, Sheikh Hamid 'Alī, and many others. After this, I sent Sheikh Ḥāmid ‘Alī, who is my attendant, to Patiala. Then I came to know that the news was contrary to the facts. It is a moment to reflect that-with the exception of God Almighty—no one knows about the matters belonging to the unseen. This information that God Almighty gave about the unseen refuted the contents of the letter. 185. [ONE HUNDred eighty-fifTH] SIGN-Some Signs are such that there is not even a minute's delay in their fulfilment. They are fulfilled instantly. In these particular cases it is rare to get an eyewitness. This is that kind of a Sign in which one day, after the morning Prayer, I fell into a state of vision and during that time I saw in that state of vision that my son, Mubārak Aḥmad, had come in from outside when his foot slipped on the floor mat that was lying near me, and he had fallen down; he was badly hurt and his whole shirt was covered with blood. I mentioned this vision to Mubarak Aḥmad's mother who was standing nearby. Just as I finished telling her, Mubārak Aḥmad came running from one side. As he reached the mat, his foot slipped. He was badly hurt and his shirt was drenched with blood. Thus, this prophecy was fulfilled within one minute. An ignorant person might assert that no reliance can be placed
