96. Ninety-Sixth Sign

Once, the late Nawab Ali Muhammad Khan, Chief of Ludhiana, wrote to me that some of his means of income had been blocked and, therefore, he desired that I pray for their restoration. When I supplicated, I received the revelation:

‘They will be restored’.

I communicated this to him through a letter, and two to four days later those means of income were restored and his faith in me was greatly strengthened.

On another occasion, he sent me a letter regarding some of his private matters. The moment he had posted the letter, it was revealed to me that a letter with such and such contents would come from him. Without delay, I wrote to him that he would send me a letter with this subject. His letter arrived the next day. And when he received my letter, he was astounded as to how I came to know this secret information, because no one had been privy to his secret. As a result, his faith in me increased so much that he was totally lost in his love and devotion to me. He recorded both these Signs in a small diary which he would always keep with him.

As has been mentioned above, when I went to Patiala I met Sayyed Muhammad Hasan the Minister. In the course of conversation there was some discussion of the miracles and Signs manifested at my hands between the Minister and the Nawab [Ali Muhammad Khan]. At that time the late Nawab, taking out the diary from his pocket, presented it to the Minister and said, ‘The reason behind my belief and devotion are the two prophecies recorded in this diary.’ And then, when after some time, I went to his home at Ludhiana to enquire about his health a day before his death, he had become very weak on account of piles and was bleeding profusely. He got up despite his condition, went to his inner room and brought back the same little diary and said, ‘I have kept it close to my heart and I draw reassurance from looking at it.’ And he showed me the place where both prophecies were recorded. Then at midnight or a little later, he passed away. [Surely, to Allah we belong and to Him shall we return]. I am certain that the diary must still be available in his library.
