It is also expressly stated in the glorious Koran to the same purport:[420] “On the very day when the spirit (Gabriel) and the angels shall be ranged in their order, nobody shall speak except him to whom the Merciful will permit it, and who will say nothing but what is just.” In another place it is declared:[421] “Truly thou canst not direct whomsoever thou lovest; but God will direct whomsoever he pleases.” It is also recorded in the traditions, that the asylum of prophecy (on whom be blessings!) said to the beautiful Fatima: “O Fatima! fear nothing, for thou art the prophet’s daughter; perform good works! again I say, perform good works!” He also proposed this additional proof! “Not one of the eminent, eloquent, learned, or wise men of the world can produce a composition which in the least resembles the volume I have sent down; if they are able let them declare it; but as they are unable, let them confess that this is the voice of God: a similar statement has also been made in the divine words of the Koran: ‘produce ye a chapter resembling it.’ Again of the many prophets who appeared on earth, all were ignorant of future events except Zardusht, who, in the _Zend-Avesta_, clearly expounded whatever was to come to pass until the day of judgment, whether good or evil.” “Concerning kings inspired by truth, religion, and justice, There are minute details if thou wilt call them to mind: The names of all he has consigned to lasting fame, Their every act and deed, whether just or unjust alike.” Moreover no prophet, save Zardusht, bestowed in the presence of God benedictions on the military class whose hearts were rightly affected towards him. “To the follower of his faith he said, if to the true believers Thou doest good, then good shall result to thee.” But above all he has said: “God has commanded me: ‘Say thou to mankind they are not to abide in hell for ever; when their sins are expiated, they are delivered out of it.’” It is generally reported that Zardusht was of _Azarbadgán_[422] or _Tabruz_; but those who are not _Beh-dinians_, or “true believers,” assert, and the writer of this work has also heard from the Mobed _Torru_ of _Busáwári_, in Gujurat, that the birth-place and distinguished ancestors of the prophet belong to the city of _Rai_.[423]
