(Risala Shamsul Islam, Bheerah, Punjab, vol.5 No.10, Qadiani Mazhab 1995 edition, p.501) "Khawaja Hasan Nizami Saheb claims that Mian (Mahmud Ahmad, Khalifa Qadian) Saheb can never show the list of 20,000 mureeds because according to Khawaja Saheb the total number of Ahmadis in Hindustan is not more than 18000. I do not know that what kind of definite reasons have reached Khawaja Saheb that he labelled a Jamaat of 4 -5 lacs merely a Jamaat of 18,000. Yes, there is no doubt that the claim of Mian Saheb that he is the Imam of 4 - 5 lac (400,000 - 500,000) Jamaat is absolutely baseless... ."
Khawaja Hasan Nizami Saheb alidai kwamba Mian(Mahmud Ahmad, Khalifa Qadiani hawezi kuonesha orodha ya Muridi japo 20,000 kwa sababu kwa mujibu wa Khawaja Saheb idadi ya jumla ya Ahmadiyya wote Mjini Hindustan haizidi 18,000. Sijui Khawaja Saheb ana hoja zipi zilizompelekea akione kikundi cha Ahmadiaya kama ni cha watu laki 4-5 wakati ambapo hawazidi 18,000. Hiyo ndio kusema, hapana shaka dai la Mian Saheb kwamba yeye ndiye Imam wa watu laki nne mpaka tano(400,000-5000,000) halina msingi wowote.(Akhbar Paigham Sulh, Lahore uk. 5 N 59 ya tarehe 6 Februari 1918) .
