THE MIRACLE OF AHMAD وَقَالَ يَمِينُ اللَّهِ مَكْرُ تَخَيَّرُوا وَخَاطَبَ مَنْ وَّافَاهُ فِي أَمْرِ دَعْوَتِي Everyone who approached him was told [regarding my claim]: 'By God, it is nothing but a ploy. وَأَقْسَمَ بِاللَّهِ الْغَيُورِ مُكَذِّبًا فَيَا عَجَبًا مِّنْ مُفْسِدٍ كَيْفَ يَجْسُرُ So much so that he dared to take a false oath by the name of the Honourable and Glorious God. I am amazed at the audacity of this wicked man. وَطَائِفَةٌ قَالُوْا كَذُوبٌ يُزَوِّرُ فَطَائِفَةٌ قَدْ كَفَرُوْنِي بِوَعْظِهِ As a result, one group denounced me as a disbeliever, While another pronounced him to be a liar. وَمَا مَسَّهُ نُورٌ مِّنَ الْعِلْمِ وَالْهُدَى فَيَا عَجَبًا مِّنْ بَقَّةٍ يَسْتَنْسِرُ As a matter of fact, Sanaullah is completely bereft of knowl- edge and guidance; I wonder at him-a mere gnat posing as an eagle. فَلَمَّا اعْتَدَى وَأَحَسَّ صَحْبِيْ أَنَّهُ يُصِرُّ عَلى تَكْذِيبِهِ لَا يُقَصِّرُ He exceeded the limits and my companions realized, That he was adamant in rejecting me and that he was not to desist. 1 دَعَوْهُ لِيَبْتَهِلَنْ لِمَوْتِ مُزَوِّرٍ مُضِلَّ فَلَمْ يَسْكُتُ وَلَمْ يَتَحَسَّرُ 77 They called upon him to pray to God for the death of the one who lied and misled the people; But, he neither stopped his propaganda nor did he ever tire of it. 1. They said this only after seeing Sanaullah exceed the bounds of false- hood and having witnessed him engaged in bluster. (Author).
