169. [One Hundred Sixty-Ninth] Sign

When we were in our garden in the spring of 1905, I had received a revelation concerning one of the people of my Jama‘at who was with us in the garden:

God had not determined to heal that person but He changed His determination out of His Grace.

After this revelation, it so happened that the wife of Sayyed Mahdi Husain, who was in our garden and is included in our Jama‘at, became gravely ill. She was already sick due to fever and the swelling that was on her face, feet, and all over her body; she was very weak and was pregnant. Later, after her delivery that took place in the garden, her condi- tion became precarious and the sign of hopelessness became evident. I kept praying for her and ultimately, by the grace of God Almighty, she received a new lease of life. Brother Hakim Maulawi Nur Din, Maulawi Muhammad ‘Ali M.A., Mufti Muhammad Sadiq, and Sayyed Mahdi Husain himself and all of the friends who were there with me in the garden are witnesses to this. The next day after my supplications, the followings words flowed from the tongue of Sayyed Mahdi Husain’s wife by way of revelation from God Almighty [‘Indeed, you would not have recovered but it is due to the supplication of Hadrat Sahib that now you shall recover’].
