30. Where, in this original statement on page 156 of Tiryaqul. Qulub³0 does Hadhrat Ahmad as state that his 'birth took place in 1839 or 1840 A. D. '? If it does not, then what does Abdul. Hafeez's inclusion of this sentence in the context of a citation of. Hadhrat Ahmad's as statement indicate? Does it not indicate that he has attributed a statement to Hadhrat Ahmadas which the latter did not make in his original work? What, then, does such a false attribution of a statement to Hadhrat Ahmadas make. Abdul Hafeez, if not a liar? Yet, he has the audacity to take exception to the appellation of a liar being stated on the cover of the Mubahala challenge³ when it is an appropriate description of the author of Two in One. . At some later stage in his book, the author of Two in One states that 'it is true that a fruit identifies the tree. 132 Why does he then not apply this maxim to himself in the light of his above false citation of Hadhrat Ahmad's as statement? One is certain that if he did, he will come to realise, as he has stated himself, that he is 'keeping alive the traditions of his forefathers. 133 If that tree of the hereditary pirs of Gujjo had been any better, then this fruit of that tree would not have lied with his citation of Hadhrat. Ahmad'sas statement - or would he?. However, despite Abdul Hafeez's dishonest citation of this passage from Hadhrat Ahmad's as work, Tiryaqul Qulub, one fails to understand as to how this passage reflects adversely on the character of Hadhrat Ahmadas? Even if this passage as quoted in Two in One were correct, including the interpolation by Abdul Hafeez, one cannot see how anyone in his right mind might manipulate it to the detriment of Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam. Ahmadas and the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community since all that appears to have been said here is that Hadhrat Ahmadas was born in a certain year and that he was born a twin along with his sister Jannat who died after seven months. What could be so objectionable about being born in a certain year or being born a twin? 30. Ahmad, [Hadhrat] Mirza Ghulam. Tiryaqul Qulub, p. 156; Ruhani Khazain, vol. 15, p. 479. 31.
