Hadrat Maulw i Nur-ud-D i n ra — Khalifatul Masih I MIGRATION 91 A Hindu of Bat a la begged him to examine his ailing wife and advise on her. Hadrat Mirza Sahib as granted permission for him to go to Bat a la for the purpose, and expressed the hope that he would return the same night. He went to Bat a la, examined the lady and prescribed the treatment to be followed. By the time he was ready to set out on his return journey it was dark and it came on to rain very heavily. Everyone tried to dissuade him from embarking upon the extremely hazardous enterprise of travelling by night to Qadian; but he would not be dissuaded. His master wanted him back that night and he would not fail him. He struggled through the fierce storm, braved all the hazards and arrived back at Qadian during the latter part of the night. Hadrat Mirza Sahib as passed an anxious night and at the end of the dawn Prayer service enquired whether Maulaw i Sahib ra had arrived safely. Maulaw i Sahib ra stepped forward to assure him that he had. About a year after he had settled at Qadian, a man came from Jammu and presented to Maulaw i N u r-ud-D i n ra one hundred and ninety five thousand rupees in cash. That was the exact amount that he owed to his creditor. He enquired why the money was being presented to him. The man explained that the Maharaja had laid down the previous year that the contract in respect of the forests of the State would be subject to the condition that the contractor would pay one half of his net profit to Maulaw i N u r-ud-D i n ra. Tenders were made on that basis and the contract was assigned to him, and he had brought one half of the net profit to be handed over to Maulaw i N u r-ud-D i n ra. The latter directed him to take the money back to Jammu and pay it over to his creditor. The following year the contractor came with one half of the net profit of that year, but Maulaw i Sahib ra refused to accept it.
