Stories from Early Ahmadiyyat — Page 100
100 Amatullah Bibi was only a child when she migrated from Kabul with her father and uncle to Qadian, the hometown of Hazrat Ahmad as. In fact, they were forced to leave the country after the martyrdom of Sahibzada Syed Abdul Lateef ra, as life was made impossible for Ahmadi Muslims in that land. This poor girl had serious trouble with her eyes; both eyes were so red and swollen that she could not even open them properly. Her parents tried many different treatments, but to no effect. Her condition continued to worsen. One day, when she was only ten years old, she decided to go to Hazrat Ahmad’s as house to ask for his blessings and help. With tears in her eyes, she begged Hazrat Ahmad as to bless her painful eyes with his heavenly breath. Hazrat Ahmad as looked at her swollen eyes, took a little saliva from his mouth and applied it to her eyes whilst praying solemnly and silently for her recovery. Then he placed his hand on her head affectionately and said, ‘Dear child, go home now. By the grace of God you will recover soon. ’ God accepted his prayers and Amatullah Bibi did recover very soon afterwards. She lived for more than sixty years after this incident but never had any trouble with her eyes again.
