No one knew him except a few people who were his father's acquaintances since the beginning. If you so wish, you can enquire about it from the residents of the township called Qadian, and from the Muslims, polytheists, and his enemies living in its sub- urbs. It was at that time that Allah the Exalted addressed him and said: أَنْتَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ تَوْحِيدِى وَتَفْرِيْدِي. فَحَانَ أَنْ تُعَانَ وَتُعْرَفَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ يَأْتُونَ مِنْ كُلِّ فَجٍّ عَمِيقٍ يَأْتِيَكَ مِنْ كُلِّ فَجٍّ عَمِيقٍ، يَنْصُرُكَ رِجَالٌ نُّوحِي إِلَيْهِمْ مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَانْتَهَى أَمْرُ الزَّمَانِ إِلَيْنَا. أَلَيْسَ هَذَا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا تُصَعِّرْ لِخَلْقِ اللهِ وَلَا تَسْأَمُ مِّنَ النَّاسِ وَوَسِّعُ مَكَانَكَ.

When the help of Allah comes and the age turns to us, it will be asked: 'Is this not the truth?' Do not turn away from Allah's creatures and be not fatigued by people. And enlarge your house (in order to accommodate those who will come to meet with you out of love). These are the prophecies from Allah; by this time, twenty-six years have elapsed since their revelation. There is a great Sign in this for the wise. Then, after this, God Almighty helped this servant [of His], as was His promise, with various kinds of favours and multi-faceted bounties. As a result, seekers after truth flocked towards him in droves with mon- etary contributions, presents, and all that they could afford, so much so that not enough room was left to accommodate them and he might have well-nigh felt weary due to meeting with the large numbers.
