A PPENDIX 1093 even if they are regarded as weak or of lower reliability by people. [S i ratul-Mahd i , part 3, p. 52, Riw a yat no. 572] (16) Dr. Sayyed ‘Abdus-Satt a r Sh a h narrates that the Promised Messiah as said: Very close to this Minaret, two angels appeared before me [in a vision]. They had with them two sweet loaves of bread. They gave those loaves to me, saying: One is for you and the other is for your followers. 1291 [S i ratul-Mahd i , part 3, Riw a yat no. 885, p. 263] (17) M i r ‘In a yat ‘Al i Sh a h narrated that the Promised Messiah as related a dream to M i r ‘Abb a s ‘Al i of Ludhiana at an early period in Qadian as following: We went to a city and found that the people were not well disposed towards me. They put forward some of their objections which were answered but their attitude did not change. Then I offered to lead them in Prayer, to which they replied that they had already offered their Prayer. In the dream this happened in a house where we had been invited to a meal. We were then asked to sit down in a large room but the meal was not served there. Then we were moved to a small room and we ate there with great difficulty. After relating this dream the Promised Messiah as observed [to M i r ‘Abb a s ‘Al i ]: ‘Maybe that city was your Ludhiana. ’ 1291 Note by Hadrat Maul ana Jalal-ud-Din Shams ra : This dream is published under About 1874, page 23, where one angel and a n a n is mentioned; and word dervishes is used instead of followers. If it is the same dream, there may be some lapse in the memory of the narrator. Or it may be a different vision. [Allah knows best. ]
