328 MALFUZAT - ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF URDU VOLUME 7 19 AUGUST 1905 A person narrated his dream that such and such a man said something specific to him in a dream. The Promised Messiahas said: A dream's specification is not always correct. Sometimes the person seen in the dream actually refers to another person. Negating the Killing and Crucifixion of the Messiah, Peace be on Him Someone objected that Allah the Exalted has said the following about the Messiah [Jesusas] in the Holy Quran: وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ وَمَا صَلَبُوهُ ! They neither killed him nor crucified him. Here 'killing' is mentioned first, and then mention is made of the cross afterwards, albeit first one is crucified and later, the result of the crucifixion is that one is killed. Contrary to this, in the Holy Quran, the mention of killing is first, and the cross is mentioned subsequently. The Promised Messiahas said: First of all, the objection of the Jews, which is recorded in the Holy Quran, is that: إِنَّا قَتَلْنَا الْمَسِيحَ 2 1. Sūrah an-Nisā, 4:158 [Publisher] 2.
