Once during the days of rampant plague when Qadian was also affected, Maulawi Muhammad ‘Ali M.A. developed severe fever. He believed that most probably it was plague and, like a dying person, he made a will and apprised Mufti Muhammad Sadiq of everything. He was living in a part of my house about which God had revealed:
[I shall safeguard all those who dwell in this house.]
At that time, I visited him to inquire about his health. Finding him anxious and worried, I said to him, ‘If you have contracted plague, then I am a liar and my claim to be the recipient of revelation is false.’ Having said this, I put my hand on his pulse. I witnessed this magnifi- cent example of the providence of God that as soon as I touched him, I found his body to be cool without any trace of fever.
