However, it was mistake that that blessed brother did not avoid taking official medicines, as I do. I suffered much more distress than he did, but thinking that the Nurjus' supplications would suffice, I did not seek material medicines or anyone's opinion about the illness, and so did not suffer any anxiety. Our late brother did not manage to comply with me on this point. He had given his word in his brilliant pieces about the Risale-i Nur that he would sacrifice himself for this wretched brother of his, so performed his duties for the Risale-i Nur with great speed and departed for the world of rest and repose. Once again I offer my condolences to his relatives and to his valuable, dedicated students like Muharrem, and to the Nurjus of Denizli and its surroundings, and suggest that like us they make our late brother a partner in their good works by inscribing them in his book of good deeds as though in respect of good deeds he has not died. And I send them many greetings and seek divine mercy for him.

Fourthly: The behaviour of the hoopoe-like bird — like Solomon's hoopoe — during the work of the Risale-i Nur, belonging to the notable Nur student Mustafa Yıldız, is not strange or unique. He is one of the heroes of Sava, where at one time the Risale-i Nur was being written out with a thousand pens. There are numerous such examples; on many occasions birds have shown an interest in the Risale-i Nur.

I send my congratulations to Sadık Bey, who completely true to his name worked together with Hilmi in prison and unforgetably served myself, the unity of the Nurjus, and the co-operation of the Nurjus and other prisoners, and beforehand and afterwards worked heroically in his home region. I send my congratulations to him and his mother and relatives, and may God grant them abundant blessings for the sacrifice they offered in my name. Also, we send greetings to Salih's son Osman, who is a Nur student and sent us greetings via him, and we accept him within the fold of the Risale-i Nur. ∗∗∗
