What did Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmud Ahmad mean in reference to a Saying of Muhammad when he stated that people who were “marfoo-ul-qalam” were brought to a prophet and treated as they believed?

Questioner: I have read in the book of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih II, only Najat, that is some part of the faith.

Huzoor (rh): Yes, yes, please.

Questioner: He quoted there from Tafsir Rooh-ul-Maani, that hadith, that those people who are marfoo-ul-qalam, those are brought to some prophet and they were treated as their belief at that time. I have certain, I am certain.

Huzoor (rh): But you find out what tradition that is, but one thing I am quite certain, that this process of acceptance of prophets and rejection of them would not start in the day after.

Questioner: But there is some kind of.

Huzoor(rh): I know, there might be some, I mean, the tradition has to be examined, maybe it is not correct, because you don’t see even the remotest difference, either in the Holy Quran or accepted traditions. In Bukhari, Muslim, Sittah and other traditions, so this is, there must be some confusion. You better read it again. And if we find positive evidence from Hazrat صلى الله عليه وسلم, then I will certainly rectify my views.
