854 May 22, 1906 (A) Translation: [Arabic] The light—that is, capacities—of youth will be restored to you. There will come to you the time of youth. That is, capacities of youth would be restored so that the service of faith may not suffer. O people, If you are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down to Our servant then produce a healing like this one. Your wife’s comfort and health will also be restored to her. The background of these revelations is that since three or four months I have been feeling great weakness. Except for D uhar and ‘A s r Prayers I have not been able to go (into the mosque), and most of the time I offer my prayers in a sitting posture. A moment’s application either by writing or by reflection brings about dizziness and a sinking of the heart. My body feels lifeless and the faculties have been so drained that I feel powerless and feel that my end is near. My wife is also chronically sick and is suffering from disorders of the womb and liver. In this condition, I supplicated that God Almighty might be pleased to restore to me the strength and capacity of my youth so that I should be in a state of health in which I can serve the faith. I also supplicated for the restoration of the health of my wife. Thereafter, I have received the revelations cited above. God knows best their meaning but I only understand that God Almighty will restore me to health and will bestow upon me the capacity whereby I might be able to serve the faith.
