360 MALFŪZĀT - ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF URDU VOLUME 9 The Announcement of Barāhīn[-e-Ahmadiyya] was with Pure Intention The Promised Messiahas said: When I issued the announcement in Barāhīn-e-Ahmadiyya that I will give ten thousand rupees to anyone who invalidates those arguments, it was with pure intention. I had written only that amount that I could pay and only that could be accu- mulated at the time. I wrote such a book only for the love of Islam and to establish the honour of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and with it made this much of an announcement. I never had it in my mind to earn money through it, and it was free from any materialistic endeavour. The consequence of it was that I did not have to pay even a single rupee, let alone ten thousand rupees. On the contrary, tens of thousands of rupees came to me after it. This is the result of sincere intention. Exemplary Physician A patient, who had come to Hadrat Maulawi Noor-ud-Deena for treat- ment from elsewhere, also came before the Promised Messiahas to offer salām [the greeting of peace]. During the conversation, the Promised Messiahas said: The being of Maulawi Şahib is very much a bounty. His diag- nosis is excellent, and above all he prays for the patient as well. Can physicians like this be found anywhere?
