Hakeem Noor-ud-Deen The Way of the Righteous 180 reminded Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih I ra how he had been tendering free advice on "savings for a rainy day. " Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih I ra said, "I looked at your advice with contempt in the past and have the same contempt today. " This is mainly because he had complete trust and reliance on the kindness and generosity of his God. This conversation with the shopkeeper was still in progress when an official of the state treasury came to him to pay Rs. 480, the balance of the unpaid salary. That shopkeeper was annoyed to see that cash. In the meantime, the Rani Sahiba (Wife of the Rajah) sent a messenger with a lot of cash. The shopkeeper was now getting angrier. He then taunted, enquiring how Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih I ra was going to settle the huge loan of one hundred and fifty thousand rupees, which he owed to a Hindu lender who would not let him go. The shopkeeper had not finished the taunting remarks when a messenger from the same lender came and said, "I have been directed by my boss to make arrangements for any further cash if needed or give a helping hand in packing and sending the household effects to Bhera. " The shopkeeper was completely flabbergasted to see the sequence of these events. After this event, Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih I ra came to Qadian, and God, in His great Majesty, arranged the settlement of that huge loan. On another occasion, when Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih I ra received a telegram from Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as , "Come immediately," he left his matab straight for the Batala railway station, and he did not have a single penny in his pocket. On the way, he met a yakka-wala , who told Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih I ra that he had been sent to him by the tehsildaar, as his wife was seriously ill. This yakka-wala took him to Batala. Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih I ra told the tehsildaar that he had to rush to Delhi by the train, which was due to leave the station in a few hours. The tehsildaar said, "You examine my wife and prescribe a medicine, and till you do that the train would not move. "
