I APRIL 1905 159 The Promised Messiahas said: I was very surprised to see [the sample of] your urine, and began praying for you immediately. InshāʼAllāh [God willing], I will continue to pray a great deal. ¹ As someone suffering from excessive urination myself, I know how troublesome it can be. You feel your heart is sinking and the calves start to hurt. You feel much distress and restless- ness. I have decided that I will remain engaged only in prayers for a few days after completing this treatise². The medicine that I had prepared for you proved to be beneficial, so please take it. I will send it. When it runs out, more can be prepared. Drink plenty of milk, it is very bene- ficial in this illness. And inshāʼAllāh, I will pray earnestly [for your recovery]. Seeing your urine, I was amazed at how you can come to Prayers assiduously [despite your discomfort]. Even from your voice, one cannot discern that you are suffering. Hadrat Maulānā Maulawi 'Abdul-Karim stated, 'It is the prayer of Your Holiness as that I am able to present myself with perseverance and resolve, otherwise, at times, I am close to fainting. The Promised Messiahas again said that he would pray a lot for Maulawı Şahib. Maulawi Şahib submitted that his only desire was good health for the Promised Messiahas. The Promised Messiahas replied: 'Health will inevitably be restored somehow when I will pray for you. It is stated in a hadith:3 1. From al-Badr: 'Even though my own health is not that good, nevertheless, I have prayed a lot for you. (Al-Badr, vol. 1, no. 1, p. 6, dated 6 April 1905) 2.
