156 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad simply cannot be found in any nation of the world or within the community of any other Prophet. The hadith are full of praise for the companions to the extent that it is recorded: ِبِْیْ ْا َْحَ َص َاَُہللُ َاَُہللُ ِفِْیْ َاَ Nothing but Allah and Allah alone resides in the hearts of my companions.
