158. [One Hundred Fifty-Eighth] Sign

Let it be clear that what transpired in Kabul after the martyrdom of Maulawi Sahibzadah ‘Abdul-Latif is also a Sign from God in my favour. Since I was grievously humiliated by the assassination of this ill-treated martyr, the wrath of God drew the sword of His fury against Kabul. A severe epidemic of cholera broke out in the city after the assassination of this ill-treated martyr, and most of those who took part in the assassination conspiracy against this ill-treated martyr fell victim to it. Wailing for the fatalities started even in the houses of the Amir of Kabul. Thousands of people who were rejoicing over this assassination fell prey to this death. It is said that this cholera epidemic struck with a ferocity that was never before witnessed in Kabul. Thus, the following revelation was fulfilled in this case also:

[I shall humiliate him who designs to humiliate you].

Look! The innocent blood of the moth Did not even give the candle enough respite to see the dawn.
