The Martyr—Hazrat Sahibzada Abdul Latif Shaheed ra 98 When the mother of Maulvi Abdul Ghaffar Sahib ra—immi- grant to Qadian—passed away, Hazrat Sahibzada ra led the funeral prayers. At that time it was raining fiercely, but Hazrat Sahibzada ra kept on praying for an extended period. Hazrat Sahibzada’s Arrival to Qadian: I accompanied Hazrat Sahibzada Shaheed ra on his trip to Qadian. Upon reaching Batala, we hired two horse buggies and some peo- ple set off on foot. I was familiar with the route to Qadian, as I had previously visited three times. I was getting ready to travel on one of the buggies and I told some pedestrians that we would wait for them by the river. Hazrat Sahibzada ra, however, refused, and said, “We will all walk. ” When we reached Qadian, Hazrat Sahibzada ra said loudly, “They will come from every distant track (Quran 22:28). They will come to you from every distant track!” We first met with Hazrat Hakim Nooruddin ra. After meet- ing him, he asked me, “How is Sahibzada Abdul Latif Sahib ra?” I said to him, “He is sitting right next to you. ” Then, Hazrat Hakim Nooruddin ra got up and embraced Hazrat Sahibzada ra and started conversing with him. Then after Zuhur prayers, we met with the Promised Messiah as and after the meeting, he arranged for Hazrat Sahibzada’s ra living arrangements along with his companions. One day, the Promised Messiah as sent Hazrat Mir Nasir Nawaab Sahib ra to Hazrat Sahibzada ra, who then said to him, “If there is any shortcoming in the food or if it is not according to your taste, then you can just have the food prepared by your men.
