636 April 18, 1903 The Promised Messiah [as] said: I was lying down when Maulav i Muhammad H usain passed across my vision and I received the revelation: 705 [al-Badr, vol. 2, no. 14, April 24, 1903, p. 109 and al- H akam, vol. 7, no. 15, April 24, 1903, p. 15] April 21, 1903 This morning when I lay down after the Prayer I received a revelation but I regret that a part of it has escaped my memory. There was first a sentence in Arabic and thereafter was its translation in Urdu. I remember the Urdu sentence: [Urdu] This matter has been settled in heaven and is not liable to change. The Arabic sentence was something like the following: 706 but I have forgotten the actual words. There is Divine purpose in such forgetfulness also. Thus the indication is that this is a final decree that will not be changed. [al- H akam, vol. 7, no. 15, April 24 1903, p. 12] 705 [Arabic] I shall inform him at the last moment: You were not following the truth. [Publishers] Note by Syed Abdul Hayee: On page 7 of the Promised Messiah as ’s notebook of revelations, the revelation is recorded as following:. Its date is recorded therein as April 17, 1903. 706 [Arabic] Promised and ordained in the heavens. [Publishers]
