39 I was only keeping watch over you. The children were being noisy, and I was trying to stop them lest your sleep be disturbed. 37 Hazrat Dr. Hashmatullah ra, who later became the personal physician of Hazrat Musleh Mau’ood ra, was a resident of Patiala and in 1907 came to Qadian to attend the Jalsa Salana. * At the end of the final session in Mubarak Mosque, a meeting of Jalsa officers was convened. Dr. Hashmatullah ra had last eaten in the morning and did not go for dinner in the Langar Khana ** with the other Jalsa attendees, lest the meeting began before he got back. The meeting ended at 11:45 at night, by which point the Langar Khana had closed. So, Dr. Hashmatullah ra went to sleep without eating anything. Sometime later, he heard a knock at the door and the voice of someone saying that the Langar Khana had been opened for those who had not eaten. So he went and ate whatever was offered alongside two other guests. Around nine o’clock the next morning, it became known that Allah, the Almighty had informed the Promised Messiah as through revelation about the hungry guests.
