Is that Maulawi Nur Din, a sincere friend of mine, had lost a son. This was his only son. At his death, some imprudent enemies expressed great jubilation at the thought that Maulawi [Nur Din] had been left without issue. Upon this, I prayed for him a great deal. After the supplication I was informed by God: ‘In response to your prayer, a son shall be born.’ As a Sign of the fact that he would be born exclusively as the result of prayer, I was informed that he would develop multiple boils on his body. Accordingly, the son was born and was named ‘Abdul-Hayy. Multiple boils of an unusual nature appeared on his body, the scars of which are still present. This Sign regarding boils had been announced through a pamphlet before the birth of the boy.
