860 (B) I recall that when I prayed for Ni za m-ud-D i n, 1056 I saw in my dream that a sparrow fell into my hand and committed itself to me, on which I said: This is our heavenly provision as the Ban i Isr a ’ i l used to be provided from heaven. [Makt u b a t-e-Ahmadiyyah, vol. 7, part 1, p. 40–41, compiled by Malik S al a h-ud-D i n Sahib M. A. Qadian, Letter June 5, 1906] June 5, 1906 Translation: (1) [Arabic] No Prophet has been sent, except that Allah has humiliated on his account those who do not believe. 1056 Ni za m-ud-D i n is a mechanic in Sialkot. A few days ago, I received a letter from him…. The subject of the letter was that he had been arrested on a charge of a criminal offence and was greatly perturbed as he saw no way of deliverance from it. He said he had made a vow that if God Almighty would deliver him from the case he would immediately make an offering to me of fifty rupees in cash. It so happened that when his letter reached me, I was in need of money and I supplicated: Lord of Power and Benevolence, If you deliver this person from this charge, it will be of triple grace; one, this distressed person will be relieved, two, my need for cash right now will, to some degree, be fulfilled and three, it would be a Sign from You. A few days later, I received Ni za m-ud-D i n’s letter …. and the next day I also received the fifty rupees. [Makt u b a t-e-Ahmadiyyah, vol. 7, part 1, p. 40, Letter dated June 5, 1906]
