760 June 16, 1905 Before the Fajr Prayer, I saw in my dream: I was standing in my room in my house and I saw that a woman 915 was sitting on the ground outside. She appeared to be opposed to me and was in a very bad condition. Her hair had been cut with a pair of scissors. She had no ornaments and her general condition was repulsive. She had wrapped a soiled piece of cloth round her head like a turban. I was averse to speaking to her. It was the time of the ‘A s r Prayer. I hastened to leave for the mosque and took along some clothes with me. I hastened so that she should not have an opportunity of talking to me. Because of the hurry, I carried my turban in my hand and covered myself with a red shawl and emerged from my room. When I passed near her, I said, or I heard a voice from heaven say: 916 and immediately thereafter the revelation came: [Urdu] She has been afflicted, has been afflicted. I noticed that she was sitting in great humiliation like a leper.

I shall punish that woman. See entry under May 26, 1905 mentioned above. [Publishers] 916 [Arabic] Curse of Allah on those who lie. [Publishers]
