[Badr, vol. 2, no. 35, August 30, 1906, p. 2 and al- H akam, vol. 10, no. 31, September 10, 1906, p. 1] September 4, 1906 Translation: [Arabic] I shall come to you suddenly with the Spirit. [Badr, vol. 2, no. 36, September 6, 1906, p. 3 and al- H akam, vol. 10, no. 31, September 10, 1906, p. 1] September 4, 1906 The Promised Messiah [as] said: Last night I saw in my dream that a robe which had a good deal of gold work on it had been granted to me from the Unseen. A thief ran away with it but someone ran after him and caught him and took away the robe from him. Thereafter the robe changed into a book of the name of Tafs i r-e-Kab i r and I was given to understand that the thief had run with it in order to destroy the Tafs i r. The Promised Messiah [as] said: The interpretation is that by thief is meant Satan, who desires to remove my sayings from the notice of people, but that he will not succeed. The Tafs i r-e-Kab i r [the large commentary] being shown in the form of a robe means that it will be a source of honour and ornament for me [Allah knows best].
