HAQIQATUL-WAḤI—THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION اذَيْتَنِي خُبْنا فَلَسْتُ بِصَادِقٍ إِن لَّمْ تَمُتْ بِالْخِزْيِ يَا ابْنَ بِغَاءِ By your wickedness you have caused me great pain; I would not be the truthful one, if you do not die in disgrace. 554 حَتَّى يَجِيءَ النَّاسُ تَحْتَ لِوَائِن الله يُخْرَى حِزْبَكُمْ وَ يُعِزُّنِي God will not only disgrace you—He will disgrace you along with your followers, yet He shall bestow honour upon me, So much so that people will come into submission under my flag. يَا يَا مَنْ يَّرى قَلْبِي وَ لُبَّ لِحَائِن ربَّنَا افْتَحْ بَيْنَنَا بِكَرَامَةٍ Our Lord! Settle this affair between me and Sa'dullāh; that is, cause the liar to die in the presence of the truthful one. O [Ye All-Seeing One] who sees my heart, and sees what is concealed within me! يَا مَنْ أَرى أَبْوَابَهُ مَفْتُوحَةً لِلسَّائِلِينَ فلا تَرُدَّ دُعَائِي O my God! I see the doors to Your grace ever open For those who pray, therefore accept my prayer regarding Sa'dullāh and do not reject it—that is, make him die the death of disgrace in my own lifetime. The death of Sa'dullah is not one Sign but three: (1) My prophecy regarding his death; (2) Falsity of his prophecy about my death by way of the mubahalah. He had prophesied that I would die in his lifetime; (3) Acceptance of my prayer regarding his death. (Author)
