Someone was holding it in his hand when another person said that it should be planted next to the jujube tree 750 which had been cut down before and that thus it would grow up again. At the same time I received the revelation: [Urdu] Was cut off from Kabul and came straight to us. I interpreted this to mean that the blood of the deceased, martyr [ Sahibz a dah ‘Abdul-La ti f ra ], has fallen upon the ground like a seed and would become very fruitful and would add to the numbers of our Community.

[Abdul Latif Bahawalpuri] 750 Note by Maul ana Abdul Latif Bahawalpuri: Hadrat Khalifatul Masih II ra applied this vision to the two martyrs ( Sahibz a dah Sayyed ‘Abdul-La ti f ra and Maulav i Ni‘matullah) and said: The jujube tree that was cut earlier refers to Sayyed ‘Abdul-La ti f ra. Referring to him as jujube indicates that he was fruitful, that is, had children. The branch of the cypress tree indicates that the branch that would be cut off after the jujube would be without fruit. Accordingly, Maulav i Ni‘matullah was not yet married when he was martyred.
