A SHINING SIGN-SIGN NUMBER 198 733 As for Bābū Şahib's falsehood, God may Himself cause some- thing to descend. To seek acquittal from God is the way of the Prophets, as was done by Hadrat Yūsuf [Joseph]. Furthermore, it has been the practice of God from the beginning to acquit the truthful. * This is the letter of mine which is recorded on pages 5, 6, and 7 of Bābū Şahib's book Aṣā-e-Mūsā. It is obvious that in this letter I had also sought a decision from God Almighty, and the verdict that God Almighty gave thereafter is obvious. On the one hand, He granted me great progress, while on the other, He caused Bābū Ilāhī Bakhsh to die in a state of utter frustration. He died of plague and left this world with a multitude of disappointments and dismay. Did he desire in his heart that he should die of the plague and then for that to happen during my lifetime? Nonetheless, God Almighty caused it to happen in this manner. The second point worth considering for fair-minded readers is that Bābū Ilāhī Bakhsh published the corpus of his revelations against me that he had collected over a period of one year in his book Aṣā-e-Mūsā. The sum and substance of these revelations was that I would die of the plague in a state of utter helplessness and frustration in the very life of Bābū Şahib and that great suffering and destruction would visit me on account of the evil effect of the mulāʻanah [invoking mutual curse] and the mubāhalah. But against all this, Bābū Şāḥib would prosper and God would grant him a long life and he would see all this destruction that I would suffer with his own eyes and he would be granted lands and gardens, and a whole world would turn to him. 1. ✩ Twenty-six years ago in my book Barāhīn-e-Ahmadiyya, a revelation was published concerning me about it. God Almighty says, just as earlier on false charges were levelled against Mūsā, so would false charges be brought against this Mūsā, meaning this humble one, but God will acquit him. The text of the revelation is فَبَرَّاَهُ اللَّهُ مِمَّا قَالُوْا وَ كَانَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَجِيْهَا ]Allah cleared him of what they spoke of him. And he was honourable in the sight of Allah']. Has not this prophecy been fulfilled by Ilāhī Bakhsh's death? (Author)
