Naqliyat-e-Miyan Syed Alam RH (English) - Khalifatullah Mehdi

12
42. Allah had sent a sword to Hazrat Mahdi AS , which he forgot at a place where he had halted for
prayers. When he had traveled far from that place, the brothers reminded him about the
sword. Hazrat Mahdi AS said that he had forgotten and had left the sword there. The brothers
said that the sword was very good. Hazrat Mahdi AS replied that however good it might be,
even if it was worth a day’s expenses of the entire world, it was still the world (duniya) and
Allah has said that the wealth of the entire world was qalil (small). 13
43. Hazrat Mahdi AS said, “Many people would have come if an amount of one cheetal (copper
coin) (per person) per day was fixed. This is because the self (nafs) accepts a fixed income
and does not accept the indefinite (mutlaq) income. Even if one lakh tinkas (gold coins) come
through indefinite means, the self does not accept it. But if one cheetal is available on a fixed
basis, the self is pleased.”
44. Hazrat Mahdi AS said, “Allah has sent this servant when, in the entire world, the work of
religion was being done for the sake of the world. Prayers, fasting, Hajj, teaching Quran and
religious guidance (Mashayakhi) – all these deeds were done for acquiring the fortune of the
world. No one was doing any deed for the sake of Allah. Allah sent this servant to show
Allah’s way to the people. Lots of people disavowed and the believers accepted (him).”
45. Hazrat Mahdi AS told Bandagi Miyan RZ , “O Syed Khundmir. Whomsoever Allah makes His
friend, many people become his enemies.”
46. Hazrat Mahdi AS said, “Whatever I hear with my ears from Allah, I convey it to you through
my word of mouth. Whether you believe it or not is between Allah and you.”
47. Hazrat Mahdi AS gave the meaning of the Verse ‘Yadullahi fawqa ‘aydiihim.’ 14 in this way:
‘Allah’s hand is upon their hands’. All commentators of Quran have taken the ‘hand’ to
mean the possession (khabza) by Allah. Hazrat Mahdi AS said, “What have they understood?
The attribute of Allah is that nothing of His is like anything. He hears and He sees. He has a
Lordly hand (dast-e-Sahibi) but unlike anyone else’s.”
48. Hazrat Mahdi AS said that when Mahdi arrived, customs, habits and innovations (rasam, aadat
and bidat) disappeared.
49. A slave-girl came to the house of Hazrat Meeran Syed Mahmood RZ . Hazrat Meeran RZ told
the Bibi RZ , “A servant in front of this servant is not right. This servant will come into the
house only if you free her.” The Bibi RZ freed the slave-girl immediately.
50. Hazrat Mahdi AS said it would not be possible to possess faith (Iman) for one who had a slave
or slave-girl in his house.
13 Quran, S. 4: 77. The Verse says, “Qul mataa-uddunyaa qalil…” The English translation of the Verse is; “Say short is
the enjoyment of this world” –AYA “Say (unto them, O Muhammad): The comfort of this world is scant…”—MMP.
“Say (unto them O Muhammad) ‘Small is the comfort of this world.”—SAL. “Say thou ‘trifling is the enjoyment of
this world.”—AMD. It will be seen that the Arabic word ‘mataa’ is variously translated. It means wealth, capital,
belongings etc.
14 Quran, S. 48: 10.
