[ONE HUNDRED-EIGHTEENTH] SIGN-Once, when I was in Gurdaspur in connection with a criminal case (which Karam Din of Jhelum had filed against me), I received the revelation: يَسْتَلُوْنَكَ عَنْ شَأْنِكَ. قُلِ اللَّهُ. ثُمَّ ذَرْهُمْ فِي خَوْضِهِمْ يَلْعَبُوْنَ. Meaning that, they will enquire about your stature—that is, what your stature and rank is—say, 'It is God who has bestowed this rank upon me' and then leave them to their frivolities. So I communicated this revelation to the Jama'at who happened to be with me at Gurdaspur and were no less than forty in number, includ- ing Maulawi Muḥammad ‘Alī M. A. and Khwājah Kamāl-ud-Dīn B. A, the pleader. Later, when we went to the court, the lawyer representing the plaintiffs asked me the same question, namely 'Is your status and station such as is described in the book Tiryāqul-Qulüb?² I said, 'Yes, by God's grace, this is the station. It is He who has bestowed this station upon me. ' With this, the revelation I had received in the morning was fulfilled close to Asr [late afternoon Prayer] and led to enhancing the faith of all our Jama'at. 1.

It was written in refutation of Pir Mehr 'Alī, but not in re- sponse to Saif-e-Chishtiya'i. 'Question: Is what you have said about certain persons on page 48-50 of this book, applicable to you? Answer: 'By God's grace and Mercy, it is applicable to me. ' (Publisher)
