1883 121 The meaning of the remaining part of the revelation quoted above is: O soul at rest upon truthfulness, return to your Lord, you well pleased with Him, and He well pleased with you.

If you try to count the favours of God, it will not be possible for you to do so. [Barahin-e-Ahmadiyyah, part 4, pp. 510–521 sub-footnote 3, R u h a n i Khaz a ’in, vol. 1, pp. 608–623 sub-footnote 3] 1883 Before this 143 God the Almighty caused the following prayer to flow several times from this humble one by way of revelation: That is [Arabic] O my Lord, make me so blessed that wherever I may live, blessing may abide with me. Then of His grace and benevolence God accepted the supplication which He had Himself taught. This is one of the wonderful ways of Providence that He Himself teaches a supplication by way of revelation and then responds that: ‘Your supplication has been granted. ’ [Barahin-e-Ahmadiyyah, part 4, p. 520 sub-footnote 3, R u h a n i Khaz a ’in, vol. 1, p. 621 sub-footnote 3] 143 That is, before the revelation [‘You have been made blessed’] quoted above was received.
