It is narrated by Miyan Sher Malik Rzi. that he asked Imam Mahdi Ahs " Whatever your exalted self has said is the Truth. Then, why do these people (the opponents of the Imam) oppose you?"
In reply, Imam Mahdi Ahs said "These people are weak. Had they the strength, they would have stoned me (to death). This is so because if some person were to abuse their beloved, how could its lovers ('ashiq) be happy? "
"The world is the beloved of the opponents (of Imam Mahdi Ahs), and here (in the daira of the Imam Mahedi Ahs) their beloved is abused day and night. Now can they (the lovers of the world) relish (such talk)?"
(Insaaf Nama - Matan Sharif, N.5)
