Lekhram showed haughtiness, so his case was expedited; that is, he perished before the stipulated time frame of the prophecy had come to an end. ¹ This humble scribe [Hadrat Mufti Muhammad Şādiqra] was asked before the Zuhr Prayer whether Sheikh Yaqub 'Ali had already gone to Lahore to arrange for the printing of the an-Nidā announcement. I submitted that he had left in the morning. The Promised Messiahas said: I would like you to go as well, and carefully read the proof ensuring that it is correct.
