[Tatimmah H aq iq atu l -Wa hi , p. 37, R uha n i Khaz a ’in, vol. 22, p. 470] 1886 Mirz a Im a m-ud-D i n and Ni za m-ud- Din , as well as all the A rya living here and Lekhr a m Pesh a war i and hundreds of other people know it well that I had made a prophecy about him [Mirz a Ahmad Baig of Hoshiarpur ] in general terms, namely that someone named Ahmad Baig from among our relatives is about to die. 213 [Announcement July 10, 1888, Majm u ‘a-e-Ishtih a r a t, vol. 1, pp. 159–160] August 3, 1886 It has been disclosed to me by Allah today also, which is August 3, 1886, that if he 214 does not repent he will soon face the consequences of his misdoings. Should it be a sorrow or grief which is normally encountered, that should not be considered the fulfilment of this prophecy, but if he suffers some affliction which is entirely unexpected then it would be right to conclude that this is in accord with the prophecy. Should he, however, repent, his end will be good; or after a warning he would be granted comfort. [Surmah Chashm-e- A ryah, pp. 190–191, R uha n i Khaz a ’in, vol. 2, pp. 238–239] 213 According to this prophecy Mirz a Ahmad Baig died in Hoshiarpur on September 30, 1892.
