[“I shall stand with My Messenger.”].

12 November 1899: A small but prestigious gathering was arranged in Qadian on this day for the departure of a research delegation. A proposed party of learned Companions was to travel to the Middle East to collect newly found evidence and properly record and fortify the already available facts regarding the historic escape journey of Jesusas from his hometown towards Kashmir. This assembly was named “The Farewell Jalsa”. During the very days in which the Promised Messiah (as) was writing his book, Jesus in India, it came to light that certain relics of the Messiah (as) of Nazareth had been found in Nasibain (situated in the Arab country of Iraq), which furnished evidence of the Messiah’s journey and corroborated the fact that he settled in Kashmir. The Promised Messiah (as) deemed it advisable to dispatch a commission or delegation to personally investigate and examine these relics and the state of affairs and then for the delegation to return to Qadian from the route on which the Messiah (as) journeyed to Kashmir. In order to see off this delegation and bid them farewell, an event was arranged by the name of Jalsa Al-Wida (The Farewell Gathering). Due to certain compelling circumstances, the dispatch of this delegation was postponed. The event, nonetheless, was held on 12-14 November 1899 with great excitement and celebration. An address was delivered by the Promised Messiah (as) on this occasion. (Malfuzat [English], Vol. 2, p. 50)
