Thereafter, he is welcome to extend invitations for the purpose of showing the Holy Prophet sa in dreams. I am willing— in the interest of the truth—that M i r Sahib should show this wonder of the Prophet’s sa visitation to me as well. He is welcome to Qadian. We have a mosque here and I shall bear all the expenses of his travel and lodging. I wish to disclose to the readers that his claim is a mere empty boast and that he has nothing to show, and if he comes here he will be completely exposed. Any wise person can understand whether this person—who pledged allegiance to me and entered the company of my companions and, for ten years, continued to call me Khal i fatull a h 46 , Imam and Reformer of the faith, and narrated his dreams to the effect—is truthful in this claim. M i r Sahib is in a sorry state—may God have mercy on him. Let him await the fulfilment of the prophecies. Let him look at page 855 of Iz a la-e- Auh a m and also read carefully pages 396 and 635 of the same book. Let him await the fulfilment of the prophecy mentioned in my announcement of 10 th July, 1887, which also contains the revelation: 46 Vicegerent of Allah. [Publisher]
