Translations:Yirmi Sekizinci Mektup/95/en

Before dawn the thought came to me that some things had been said about me in a way that would cast suspicion into a certain person’s heart. I said to myself: “If only I had seen him and had dispelled the disquiet from his heart.” At that moment, I needed part of one of my books which had been sent to Nis, and I said to myself: “If only I had got it back.” Then after the morning prayer I sat down and lo and behold!, that same person entered the room with that very part of the book in his hand. I said to him: “What is it you are holding?” He answered: “I don’t know. Someone gave it to me outside my house saying that it had come from Nis; so I brought it to you.” “Glory be to God!” I exclaimed, “it does not look like chance this man coming from his house at this time of day and this part of the Words arriving from Nis.” And thinking: “It was surely the All-Wise Qur’an’s saintly influence that gave a man such as this a piece of paper such as that at the same moment and sent it to me,” I exclaimed: “All praise be to God! One who knows the smallest, most secret, least significant desire of my heart, will certainly have compassion on me and protect me; in which case, I owe the world nothing whatsoever!”
