Messiah passed away, Hazrat Maulvi Nur-udDin succeeded him as the first Khalifa and head of the Movement. The standard of obedience and loyalty which he set was SO high that the Promised Messiah, on one occasion remarked 'He follows me so closely and undeviatingly as the pulse beat of a man follows in strict conformity with the beating of the heart'. (A'eena Kamalat-i-Islam, page 585). . Once it so happened that from Delhi, where he happened to be on a visit, the. Promised Messiah had a telegram sent to. Hazrat Maulvi Sahib, in connection with something, in which the man who filled in the telegraph form put in the words "Reach Delhi without delay. " When Maulvi sahib received this telegram, he was busy in his dispensary. . When he received the telegram he started for. Delhi, straightway, then and there, without even going to his house to tell his people that he was going out of Qadian for some days. He did not even wait to take any luggage for the journey, or any money for the expenses. While he was thus on his way to the Tonga Stand for the journey to the railway station eleven miles away, someone ventured to say that he should have taken with him some bedding and other articles necessary for use during the journey, he replied that his. Imam had asked him to come without delay. 75
