68 His Statement— Sayyed Ahmad Arab, whom I know to be trust - worthy, related to me directly that he stayed with him [the author] for two months in the company of his special devotees. Time and time again, in order to observe and evaluate him by being present at every special occasion, he discovered that he [the author], indeed, had astrological instruments which he makes use of. My Statement— اْوَلاَعَت ُعْدَن اَنَءٓاَنْبَا َو ْمُكَءٓاَنْبَا َواَنَءٓاَسِن َوْمُكَءٓاَسِن َواَنَسُفْنَا َوْمُكَسُفْنَا١۫ َّمُث ْلِهَتْبَن 1 ْلَعْجَنَف َتَنْعَّل ِهّٰللا ىَلَع َنْيِبِذٰكْلا۰۰ Indeed, this is the very reply from my side, which I have expressed through a verse of my Lord; for, I do not recall in the least who that gentleman, Sayyed Ahmad, was who [allegedly] stayed with me for two months. This allegation’s bur - den of proof is upon Maulaw i Sahib to produce him before me so that he may be questioned about which instruments he had seen. Besides, so long as I am still alive, Maulaw i Sahib may personally stay with me for two months and see for himself; what need is there for any other Arab or non-Arab intermediary? His Statement— Upon my reflection over these words of revelation, I can never believe that they are revelations [from God]. My Statement— Nor did those people believe in regard to whom God Almighty states: 1. Come, let us call our sons and your sons, and our women and your wom - en, and our people and your people and then let us pray fervently and invoke the curse of Allah on those who lie ( S u rah A l-e-‘Imr a n, 3:62).
