570 HAQIQATUL-WAḤI-THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION habit of Maulawi Thanā'ullāh, under the impulse of his Abū Jahl-like nature, to present half-baked excuses to justify his rejection of these Signs. On this occasion he had also demonstrated this same habit of his and, based on sheer falsehood, he had written concerning me in his paper, Ahl-e-Hadith, dated 8 February 1907 that the revelation I had received regarding Maulawi Abdul-Karim's health, that he would certainly recover, was false for he died in the end. What answer can I give to such falsehood except to say "The curse of Allah be upon the liars']?

It often happens that in a dream one sees the death of a person and the interpre- tation is an extension of his life. This is the state of those maulawis who are renowned as being highly trustworthy. There is no evil deed worse than lying in the world. God compares such lying to filth yet these peo- ple do not avoid such filth. I have so clearly demonstrated Sa'dullah's death in accordance with the prophecy, but will Maulawi Thanā’ullāh accept and acknowledge it? No, not at all. He will instead try to reject
