Transcription

Q:–Then why do you refuse to reveal it?

A:–Well it is not my business not my place to go around and publish to scoffers what passed between the prophet and myself. He would have revealed it himself, had he lived, in his own good time, and then there could be no dispute about it, but he did not have the opportunity unfortunately.
