426 BARĀHIN-E-AHMADIYYA - PART FIVE من الضغن والشحناء يهذون كلّهم وأمرى مبين واضح لو تفكروا کینہ اور دشمنی سے تمام وہ بکواس کر رہے ہیں۔ اور میری بات روشن اور واضح ہے اگر وہ سوچیں On account of their rancour and enmity, they are-all of them-utter- ing sheer nonsense; My affair is bright and clear, would they but only reflect! واصل التنازع والتخالف بيننا رخيم قليلٌ ثُمَّ باللغو يُكثر اور ہم میں اور ان میں جو اختلاف ہے دراصل۔ وہ مختصر اور تھوڑا ہے پھر وہ لغو خیالات کے ساتھ اس کو بڑھا دیتے ہیں 1.

And it does not behove anyone to change the word of Allah from its place. And Allah has cursed all interpola- tors, as you well know. The second testimony is the verse: فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيْتَنِي [But since You did cause me to die. . . (Sūrah al-Ma'idah, 5:118)] Glad tidings be to those who reflect! And the third testimony from the Holy Quran is the word of God: وَمَا مُحَمَّدُ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ
