At about 8:30am, Hazrat Maulvi Nuruddinra got into a yakka (horse cart) with a few friends to catch a train for Dhariwal from Batala. Hazrat Ahmadas left Qadian for Dhariwal at about 11 o’clock in a palki (palanquin) accompanied by Hazrat Saith Abdur Rahmanra (who had come from Madras one day earlier) and others. Arrangements for the stay of the party were made by Chaudhry Nabi Bakhsh Sahib of Batala and Miyan Abdul Aziz Patwari at Leel, a small village near Dhariwal.
On the way, Hazrat Ahmadas was requested by a representative of Rani Ishar Kaur of Khunda (a renowned landholder) to stop there as a guest of the Rani. The request was so earnestly made that it met with acceptance. A multitude followed Huzooras wherever he went. An old man who was suffering from a disease met Huzooras and Huzooras prescribed medicine for him and also prayed for him. Another requested to be initiated into the movement. Others asked questions to be enlightened. People gathered at Khunda from distant places like Jhelum, Lahore, Jalandhar and Kapurthala.
