Is the death of Hakim Hafiz Muhammad Din which took place after a mubahalah. The details of this entail a person, resident of Moza Nankar near the Kahna railway station in the District of Lahore, who had employed several words about me by way of a mubahalah in his book and requested Allah’s wrath and curse for the one who is the liar. He died one year and three months subsequent to this request which he made in several places throughout his book that he had named Faisala-e-Qur’ani aur Takdhib-e-Qadiani [‘The Quranic Verdict and Refutation of the Qadiani’].1
He writes these verses by way of a mubahalah on pages 76, 78, and 85:
[Woe to every sinful liar!]
[Woe, on that day, unto those who reject!]
[The curse of Allah be on those who lie.]
These are the verses that he has written. Thus, in one verse the curse of God is invoked upon the one who is the liar and guilty of fabrication. And in the second verse, the curse of God is invoked upon the one who rejects the truthful one. This indeed is what constitutes a mubahalah. And in the third verse the curse of God is invoked in a general sense upon the liar.
As I have already written, this man died one year and three months after the publication of his book. Now every wise person can ponder that a mubahalah is the method in Islam to obtain a decisive verdict on an issue. Thus, when Hakim Hafiz Muhammad Din labelled me an impostor in this book of his and assigned me the appellation
[‘the sinful liar’], and then again on page 63 of his book, he wrote the following verse applying it me 5
6
(Verses as quoted by Hakim Hafiz Muhammad Din) meaning: ‘Curse be upon the sinful impostor who hears the verses of God and, out of arrogance, insists upon denying them as if he heard nothing. Thus, warn him of a painful chastisement.’
Therefore, by writing these verses, this man named Muhammad Din means to imply that I am
[the sinful liar] and that in his lifetime I shall indeed be chastised through a painful punishment. On the contrary, Allah the Exalted delivered the verdict on who the sinful liar is through his death.
