1883 75 1883 Pandit Shiv Nar a yan, a distinguished Brahmo Sam a j scholar, wrote to me from Lahore that he intended to write a refutation of Part 3. 95 The letter had not yet reached me when God Almighty disclosed its purport to me in a vision. I related this to several Hindus and, at the time of the delivery of the mail, a Hindu A rya was sent to the post office so that he might serve as a witness. He brought the letter from the post office. I wrote to Pandit Shiv Nar a yan in reply: ‘You desire to refute the possibility of revelation, yet God Almighty informed me through revelation of your letter and its content. If you doubt this you can come to Qadian and verify it, for your Hindu brethren are its witnesses. Your writing a refutation would cause you much inconvenience. The method [that I have suggested] would settle the matter very quickly. ’ [Makt u b a t-e-Ahmadiyyah, vol. 1, pp. 6–7, Letter no. 6, dated March 3, 1883] April 1883 One morning in April 1883, I was informed in a state of wakefulness that some money would arrive from Jhelum…. I had received no letter from Jhelum about the dispatch of any money. …Within less than five days, I received forty-five rupees by money order from Jhelum. On checking this, it was confirmed that the money order had been dispatched on the day on which God, the Knower of the unseen, had informed me about it.
