[Shar h u l- Qa si dah by Maul a n a Jal a l-ud-D i n Shams ra , p. 1–2, June 29, 1956] (52) Hadrat Munsh i Z afar Ahmad ra of Kapurthala has narrated that: On one occasion the Promised Messiah as suffered greatly from itch. His hands were all covered by it and it was difficult for him to write or carry out other tasks. He was getting regular treatment but no remedy brought any relief…. One day I presented myself to him about the time of the ‘Asr Prayer and found that his hands were all clear but that his eyes were running…. I took the courage and inquired from him the cause of the unusual flow of tears. He answered: A sinful thought had passed through my mind that Allah the Almighty had committed such a great task to me and my health was such that I continued to suffer from something or the other. On this I received the revelation: 1309 [Urdu] Have I guaranteed your health? That is why my heart has been overpowered with humbleness and awe: why did I think so. Simultaneously with this revelation, however, I saw that my hands were quite clear and no trace of itch remained anywhere. With this majestic revelation on one side and such grace and mercy on the other, my heart is full of the greatness and 1309 Note by Maul ana Abdul Latif Bahawalpuri: This revelation was probably received in 1891 or 1892. Hadrat Miy a ń Bash i r Ahmad ra has said that the suffering from itch was in 1891.
