356 HAQIQATUL-WAḤI-THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION indeed is Allah's help. Then God said a sentence in English that when the amount is received after ten days, 'then will you go to Amritsar. I communicated this prophecy to the three Hindus—namely, Sharampat, Malāwāmal, and Bishandās—all of whom are Āryas, and told them to remember that the money would arrive by mail and that for ten days, nothing would arrive by mail. In addition to these Hindus, quite a few Muslims were also apprised of this prophecy beforehand to make it well known, for this prophecy had two unique features: (1) It was categorically stated that nothing would come for ten days, and that on the eleventh day money would arrive without delay and without pause; and (2) The other peculiar feature was that with the arrival of the money, it would so happen that I would have to go to Amritsar.

Again, if you study the office record of the Summary Court, Amritsar, of the same date, you will find my depo- sition there in the file of the lawsuit about one Rajab Ali, a Christian
