His Holiness, the Promised Messiah, peace be on him, said: The compiler of al-Bukhārī has presented powerful arguments on the death of Jesus. The meaning of مُتَوَفِّيكَ ]mutawaffika] has been written as مُمِيْتُكَ ]mumituka, meaning, 'I shall cause you to die']. Then, he did not just stop there but in support of the verses concerning the death of Jesus, he presented the verse: فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيْتَنِي and recorded the hadith in which the Prophet, peace be on him, applied the verse فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيْتَنِي to himself and showed that the meaning of تَوَفَّيْتَنِی ]tawaffaitanī] in it is death. 2 1. But since Thou didst cause me to die (Sūrah al-Ma'idah, 5:118). [Publisher] 2. Al-Hakam, vol. 11, no. 4, p. 15, dated 31 January 1907
