It is about a prophecy regarding my marriage which took place in Delhi. I had received this revelation from God Almighty:
Meaning, All praise belongs to Allah who honoured you as the son-in-law and the son.
In other words, you are the scion of a noble house and your spouse too shall be a Sayyed. This revelation was a prophecy about my marriage. It made me anxious as to how I would meet the expenses of the marriage, for I had no money at the time, and how I would be able to bear the lifelong burden of this responsibility. I prayed to Allah the Almighty that I do not have the capacity to bear these expenses. Thereupon, I received the revelation:
Meaning that, I shall provide whatever you need for the marriage, and I shall grant you whatever you need from time to time.
And this is how it happened. To meet all the necessary expenses pertaining to the marriage, Munshi ‘Abdul-Haqq, Accountant at Lahore, advanced me a loan of 500 rupees and another gentleman, Hakim Muhammad Sharif of Kalanaur, who practised medicine at Amritsar, lent me 200 or 300 rupees. Munshi ‘Abdul-Haqq, the Accountant, reminded me at the time that marriage in India was tantamount to keeping an elephant at one’s door. I told him that God had already undertaken [to bear] these expenses.
Then, after marriage, the series of victories began. There was a time when I found it hard to maintain a household of five or seven persons owing to my meagre sources of income. But now, on an average, some 300 persons with their spouses and children, along with many of the poor and indigent, are fed daily at my community kitchen.
This prophecy was communicated beforehand to Lalah Sharampat and Malawamal, both of whom are Aryas residing in Qadian. Sheikh Hamid ‘Ali and some other acquaintances were also informed of it. And I do not think Munshi ‘Abdul-Haqq Accountant of Lahore will withhold the evidence [about the prophecy] even though he belongs, at this time, to the coterie of opponents. [And Allah knows best].
