1883 137 September 10, 1883 Then a revelation was received definitely and emphatically for the third time on September 10, 1883: [Urdu] Twenty and one rupees have arrived. This was understood to mean that the prophecy would be fulfilled the same day. Within approximately three minutes of the receipt of this revelation, a man of the name of Waz i r Singh, who was ill, arrived and immediately presented a rupee to me. I do not practice as a physician, but if by chance a person who is suffering arrives and I am able to think of a suitable medicine I give it away for the sake of Allah and to earn His blessings. However, I accepted this rupee from him for it passed through my mind that this rupee might be connected with the prophecy. Then, I sent a trusted messenger to the post office expecting that the rest of the prophecy would be fulfilled through the post office. The postal clerk, a Hindu, sent word that he had received a money order of the value of five rupees to which a card was attached—which had arrived from Dera Ghazi Khan—but that he did not have any money with him and would remit this money as soon as he would receive it. I was so surprised and perturbed upon receiving this information as cannot be described in words. While I had bowed down my head, thinking that five and one would make only six; how will they turn into twenty-one, I begged Allah what the matter was. During this contemplation, I suddenly received the revelation: [Urdu] Twenty and one have arrived, there is no doubt in this.
