980 [Badr, vol. 6, no. 20, May 16, 1907, p. 4 and al- H akam, vol. 11, no. 17, May 17, 1907, p. 7] May 12, 1907 (1) Vision: Today I was shown in my vision someone whose face I cannot recall, but I do remember that he is a bitter enemy of mine and reviles me in his speeches and writings and uses foul language. This was followed by the revelation: (2) [Urdu] The recompense of evil is evil. He is afflicted with the plague. This is a prophecy, meaning that he will suffer from plague. I am sure that soon or late you will hear that some such enemy—about whom your hearts will testify that he deserved the affliction as indicated in this revelation—will die of the plague. If this does not happen you would be entitled to reject my claim. (3) Thereafter, it was manifested to me that: heedlessness, sin and daring have spread widely in the country and that people will not give up opposition till God manifests His strong hand. Thereafter, I received the revelation: (4) [Urdu] The result will be the outbreak of a severe [kind of] plague in the country. [Arabic] it was a moral problem, not a problem of religious belief…. Thus the prophecy of the Promised Messiah as was fulfilled in my person and also fulfilled was the dream that I saw about the wrestling match which had informed me that ultimately Maulav i Muhammad H usain would join us.
