25 October 1905 37 The Promised Messiah as — Since it will be against the Word of God and the word of the Messenger, how can it be authentic? In [ S a hih ] al-Bukh a r i itself, the meaning of َ ْك ی مُتَوَفِّ َ ْك ی مُتَوَفِّ — [ mutawaff i ka ] is written as َ ْتُك ی ِ مُم َ ْتُك ی ِ مُم —[ mum i tuka —‘I shall give you death’]. maulaw i sah ib— I do not accept [ S a hih ] al-Bukh a r i , and it is written in the traditions that Jesus is alive. It is written in the commentaries of the Quran that Jesus is alive. The Promised Messiah as — You can choose to believe or disbelieve whatever you wish. Moreover, the Holy Quran itself provides a commentary on what it says. God informed me that Jesus died, which is in accord with the Book of Allah and the authentic a ha d i th. He who has ears for listening should listen. I cannot accept any tradition that goes against the Quran and Hadith. maulaw i sah ib— And if that is also s a hih [authentic], then? The Promised Messiah as — It absolutely cannot be s a hih. maulaw i sah ib— Even though it is s a hih ? The Promised Messiah as — I have explained this several times. Why should I say it again and again? How can a tradi- tion that is contrary to the Book of Allah be s a hih ? maulaw i sah ib— Who wrote this? In which book is it writ- ten that if there is a contrary tradition, do not believe it? Imam Bukhari also made a mistake and wrote that the meaning of َ ْك ی مُتَوَفِّ َ ْك ی مُتَوَفِّ —[ mutawaff i ka ] is َ ْتُك ی ِ مُم َ ْتُك ی ِ مُم —[ mum i tuka —‘I shall give you death’].
