1883 141 160 This revelation was also repeated several times. It has only two meanings. The first meaning is: Tell your beneficiary or your brother that: ‘I shall complete My favour upon you. ’ The second meaning is: ‘I shall cause (you) to die. ’ I do not know who this might relate to. There are several people who stand in such relationship to me. I often receive such revelations or see such visions in which news is conveyed with regard to ease or hardship or accidents or age concerning myself or some of my friends. [Makt u b a t-e-Ahmadiyyah, vol. 1, pp. 67–68, Letter no. 35, dated November 20, 1883] 1883 Fifteen 161 years later when my brother [Mirza Ghulam Q a dir]’s time of death drew near, I was in Amritsar. It was disclosed to me in a dream that the cup of his life was now definitely full and he would soon die. I related this dream to H ak i m Muhammad Shar i f, who is a physician in Amritsar 160 In H ay a t-e-Ahmad volume 2, number 2, page 72 (by Sheikh Ya ‘ q u b ‘Al i ‘Irf a n i) , this revelation is written clearly with the words. But in Makt u b a t-e-Ahmadiyyah, volume 1, page 67, Letter number 35, addressed to M i r ‘Abb a s ‘Al i Sh a h dated November 20, 1883, the word is not written very legibly. It can be read as also. The translation by the Promised Messiah as maurad-e-fai d [your beneficiary] strengthens that possibility, although d aif [the guest] can also be understood as maurad-e-fai d [the beneficiary]. [Allah knows best. ] It may be noted the brother of the Promised Messiah as passed away in those days. [Mirza Bashir Ahmad] 161 In 1868 the brother of the Promised Messiah as , Mirza Ghulam Q a dir fell ill, and was reduced to a bare skeleton. The Promised Messiah as prayed for his recovery. He was shown in a dream that he was walking in the house without any support. The Promised Messiah as has written that he lived for fifteen years after that dream.
