[ H aq iq atu l -Wa hi , p. 95 footnote, R uha n i Khaz a ’in, vol. 22, p. 98 footnote] 1087 This divine revelation [Arabic] [ You shall witness a distant progeny. ] was first received about thirty years ago. [ H aq iq atu l -Wa hi , p. 95 footnote, R uha n i Khaz a ’in, vol. 22, p. 98 footnote] They will desire that your affair should remain incomplete, but Allah does not intend to leave you till the completion of all of your affairs. I am the Gracious One, I shall create ease for you in every matter. I shall show you My blessings from every direction. My mercy has descended up on three of your organs , the eyes and two other organs , that is, they will be protected. The glow of youth will be restored to you. You shall witness your distant progeny. 1087 We give you good news of a son, who will be a manifestation of the True, as if Allah had descended from heaven. We give you good news of a boy who will be your grandson. Allah has purified you of every shortcoming and has agreed with you and has taught you the verities that you did not know. He is the Noble One, He walks in front of you and is the enemy of your enemies. They will say: ‘This is but an imposture’. O critic, know you not that Allah has power to do all that He wills? He sends down His spirit on whomsoever He wills from among His servants, that is grants the station of prophethood. All of this blessing is from Mu h ammad, on whom be the peace and blessings of Allah. So greatly blessed is he who taught this servant of God, and greatly blessed is he who was taught.
