1902 601 back. Then the following Prayer was inspired by Allah the Almighty in a dream upon my heart: 649 , 650 It was conveyed to me that this is the great name of God and that whoever supplicates in these terms would be delivered from every affliction. [al-Badr, vol. 1, no. 7, December 12, 1902, p. 54 and al- H akam, vol. 6, no. 44, December 10, 1902, p. 10] (B) Of the Signs shown in my favour is one in which God, the All-Knowing and the Wise, informed me about a mean person and his great calumny against me and apprised me through His revelation that this man would attack me in order to humiliate me, but would himself become my target in the end. Allah the Almighty conveyed this to me in the course of three dreams. He disclosed to me in a dream that this enemy of mine would engage three helpers in my opposition to achieve success in his proceedings to dishonour me and to put me to trouble. I was shown in a dream that I was hauled into court like a prisoner but I was shown that I would be delivered in the end, though after an 649 [Arabic] O my Lord everything serves You. So O my Lord, protect me and help me and have mercy on me. [Publishers] 650 al- H akam , vol. 6, December 10, 1902, p. 10, reports that the Promised Messiah as said: This prayer is an amulet and protection. . . I will henceforth make this supplication regularly in my Prayers, and you should also do it. He also said: The greatest matter in it, which teaches the True Unity—that is, assures that Allah the Glorious alone can cause any harm or impart any benefit—is that it teaches us that [O Allah] everything is in Your service, and no harmful thing can cause any damage without Your will and permission.
