346 December 12, 1894 Wednesday: I saw [in a dream] last night that I was at the house of Muhammad H usain Bat a lav i. We held prayer service there and I perceived that I led it and by mistake I recited [ s u rah ] al-F a ti h ah aloud. . . , I said: Why did you not prevent me from reciting it aloud. Then I thought that I had only called out the takb i r aloud, and not s u rah al-F a ti h ah. I do not recall whether Muhammad H usain was with us in the prayer service or whether he had observed it before we did. When we had finished the Prayer, I found that I was sitting on a bed in front of Muhammad H usain. It seemed to me that at that time he was dark of complexion and quite naked and it appeared to me that his complexion was darkish. I felt embarrassed and would not look at him. . . . It seems that I said to him: Is it not time that you should make up with me, and incline towards peace? He replied in the affirmative and came close and embraced 390 me while I was sitting. Then I said to him: Do you overlook whatever I have said concerning you which might have hurt you. So forgive it, if you wish because I wish that there should be no ill-will or quarrel in your mind on the day that we would be raised and shall be standing before Allah the Almighty. He said: I 390 Note by Hadrat Maul ana Jalal-ud-Din Shams ra : This dream was fulfilled during the time of Hadrat Am i rul-Mu’min i n Khalifatul Masih II aba. He writes: At the time of my Khilafat , Allah created remorse in his mind. Once I went to Batala and he came to see me himself. I noticed sign of great remorse on his face… Allah the Almighty also fulfilled this dream in this way that two of his sons came to Qadian for studies and took a covenant of bai‘at at my hand.
