Once I was travelling from Ludhiana to Qadian by railway train. I was accompanied by Sheikh Hamid ‘Ali, my attendant, and a few others. After covering some distance, I felt a little drowsy and received the revelation:
[Half to you and half to your collaterals.]
At the same time, I was made to understand that it related to inheritance accruing to me on the death of some heir, and that the term 1
[‘amaliq] referred to my cousins who were opposed to me and happened to be tall in stature too. In other words, God compared me to Moses and them to the opponents of Moses.
When I reached Qadian, I learnt that one of our collaterals, named Imam Bibi was suffering from diarrhoea due to hepatic causes. She died a few days later. Except for our two groups [us and our cousins] she had no heirs. Her land, therefore, was equally shared by us and our cousins. Thus was the prophecy fulfilled to the prior announcement of which a large number of people including Sheikh Hamid ‘Ali, who is still alive, are a witness.
1 The literal meaning of 
(‘amaliq) is ‘super’ or ‘gigantic’. [Publisher]
