1."There is no
doubt that this humble one has come from God as a muhaddas
for this Umma, and a muhaddas is also in one
sense a prophet. Though he does not possess complete
prophethood, nonetheless he is a prophet in a partial
sense because he has the privilege of communication
with God, and matters of the unseen are disclosed to
him, and his revelation, like the revelation of
messengers and prophets, is also protected against
interference by the devil." (Tauzih Maram,
January 1891, pp. 9-10)
2. "There is no
claim of prophethood. On the contrary, the claim is
of muhaddasiyya [being a muhaddas],
which has been advanced by the command of God. And
what doubt is there that muhaddasiyya has
within it one function of the powers of prophethood.
Considering that true visions are one element out of
the forty-six constituents of prophethood, then if muhaddasiyya
--- which is described in the Holy Quran alongside
prophethood and messengership, and for which there is
a hadith in Sahih Bukhari --- is declared to be
metaphorical prophethood, or is called one of the
aspects of prophethood, does this imply a claim to
prophethood?" (Izala Auham,
September 1891, pp. 421-422)
