Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 10 336 1 َو اَذِا ُراَشِعْلا ْتَلِّطُع َو اَذِا ُراَشِعْلا ْتَلِّطُع And this subject has been described in the following words in the hadith of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him: ُن َّ الْقِلَص ُ فَل َ یُسْعٰی عَلَیْـھَا ك َ وَلَیُتْـر ُن َّ الْقِلَص ُ فَل َ یُسْعٰی عَلَیْـھَا ك َ وَلَیُتْـر [‘She-camels will be aban- doned, and no one will travel upon them’].

Moreover, I was repeatedly informed through Divine revelation that it is, indeed, I who has been called the Promised Messiah as by Allah the Exalted, whose advent was promised in the Hadith. Bear in mind that the one who casts the Hadith away like trash, cannot be a believer at all, because a very large part of Islam is such that it would remain incomplete without the help of the Hadith. One who says that he has no need of the Hadith cannot be a believer at all. Such a one would, one day, also have to abandon the Quran. In short, the person who has been designated the 1. And when the she-camels, ten-month pregnant, are abandoned ( S u rah at-Takw i r, 81:5). [Publisher]
