live longer than the truthful person just as happened in the case of Musailma Kazzab and the Holy Prophetsa. 86. It should be observed that Hadhrat Ahmadas did not, at any point throughout this controversy predict that Sanaullah will die in his lifetime. He merely invited the mullah to engage in a duel of prayer with him and pray that the liar die before the truthful. . But, this invitation, Sanaullah Amritsari refused to accept. And, he also complained about it. However, as Divine wisdom would have, the mullah was led to make an excuse that the truthful, and not the liar die first since the liars are granted respite and provided by God to remain in enjoyment of His provisions for a long time 88 so that they may multiply their sins89 and also flounder in their transgression just as Musailma Kazzab, the liar was given respite and provided with provision of enjoyment to multiply his sins and flounder in transgression while our beloved Prophet, Hadhrat Muhammadsa who was a truthful person died first. 91. Hence, the Almighty Lord decreed that Maulvi Sanaullah. Amritsari be 'shown a sign that he might see for himself which he would not see if he died first' as the mullah had demanded of Hadhrat Ahmadas. 92 God Almighty caused him to fall into the snare of his own choice and in accordance with the novel criterion established by the Maulvi himself and also his wishes,. Allah granted the Amritsari mullah a long respite and he remained in enjoyment of His provision until 1947 so that. Sanaullah may multiply his sins and flounder in his transgression a period of forty years after the truthful person,. Hadhrat Ahmad's as death in 1908. All praise belongs to Allah! 88.
