A Revelation of the Promised Messiah (as) and His Belief in His Own Revelation

The Promised Messiah (as) said: “Last night I felt pain in my fingertip and it was so severe that I was worried about how I would manage through the night. Then, I was overtaken by a light slumber and received the following revelation:

کُوْنِیْ بَرْدًا وَّسَلَامًا
Be thou cold and a means of safety.

The last word of the revelation salaman had barely finished when immediately the pain disappeared, as though there were no pain at all.”

Then, the Promised Messiah (as) said: “I have such firm belief and possess such insightful certainty in the words of God Almighty, which are sent to me as revelation, that I am willing to stand in the House of Allah and swear unconditionally under oath that they are true. In fact, it is my belief that if I deny this revelation or even entertain the doubt that it is not from God, I would immediately become a disbeliever.”1
