I remember vividly that on the day that the district superintendent came to Qadian to search the home of the Promised Messiahas, there was no prior news or knowledge of the impending search, nor could there have been. On that morning, our respected Mir Sahib heard from somewhere that today a warrant would be coming along with handcuffs as well. Mir Sahib was shocked and became extremely anxious. He hurried in to inform the Promised Messiahas and as he was overcome by emotion, he expressed the matter at hand with grave difficulty. His Holinessas was writing Nur-ul-Quran at the time and he was engaged in a very subtle and delicate subject. The Promised Messiahas raised his head, smiled, and said: “Mir Sahib! People wear bangles of silver and gold on occasions of worldly joy. I shall deem that I have put on bangles of iron in the way of Allah Almighty.” Then, after a pause, the Promised Messiahas said: “But this will never happen, because the government of God Almighty has its own ways of wisdom. God does not allow His divinely commissioned vicegerents to be humiliated.”
