(7) [Arabic] Everything is for you and your affair. (8) [Urdu] O Allah! Avert now the afflictions of the town also. 1156 1155 A friend of mine, Sayyed N as ir Sh a h, Overseer in the State of Jammu and Kashmir, was much perturbed at having received orders of transfer to Gilgit which would involve him in great hardship during the journey and his stay there, to which he did not find himself equal. He took leave and came to me and asked me to pray that he should be posted in Jammu and should not have to travel to Gilgit. One night I supplicated for him and in respect of several matters including the glory of Islam. Then I received the revelation: [Urdu] All prayers have been accepted, including the one for the strength and glory of Islam. In this manner, I was informed that Sayyed N as ir Sh a h’s transfer had been postponed. It gave me great pleasure that God had accepted my supplication on his behalf. . . . I informed him immediately that my prayer about him has been accepted. Thereafter, on about the 3 rd or 4 th day, he received a letter from some official of the State that his transfer had been postponed.

Allah the Almighty removed them and sent them to hell. [Badr, vol. 6, no. 17, April 25, 1907, p. 7]
