300 March 18, 1893 (A) Today, Sha‘b a n 29, 1310 AH, at the time of writing this essay, God Almighty made my heart incline towards supplication and I immediately supplicated in a very moving manner for success in this competition. 346 My heart was reassured and I realised that my prayer had been accepted. I am sure that the revelation which I had received concerning Miy a ń [Muhammad H usain] Bat a lav i in the words: 347 had reference to this occasion. I have appointed a period of forty days for this competition in my supplication, and the same time-period was caused to be uttered by my tongue. [ A’i na-e-Kam ala t-e-Isl a m , p. 604, R uha n i Khaz a ’in, vol. 5, p. 604] (B) (God the Almighty) has informed me that if Miy a ń [Muhammad H usain] Ba ta lav i or any of his colleagues would enter into competition 348 with me, they would be defeated and greatly humiliated.
