Intro
In 1884, after BA4 was published, MGA was immediately called a Kafir by a few of the Ahl-e-hadith ulema of North India. They accused MGA of claiming prophethood in the Barahin. Two brothers Maulana Abdullah and Maulana Muhammad Ludhianvi issued a decree of excommunication against Mirza immediately after he issued first volumes of Barahin Ahmadiyya (See Tarikh e Ahmadiyya).
MGA remained silent, however, MGA’s close friend and fellow ahl-e-hadith Muslim Syed Muhammad Hussain Batalvi came to MGA’s aid in his own newspaper, the “Isha‘atus-Sunnah” of winter 1884. In his newspaper he defended MGA to those who were doing Takfir on him, He argued that MGA was not really claiming prophethood, it was all a mis-understanding.
In 1902, MGA mentions this incident in “I’jaz-e-Ahmadi”, in english as “Miracle of Ahmad” (see page 14), he mentions 3 ahl-e-hadith imam’s who called him Kafir: Muhammad, Abdul Aziz and Abdullah. MGA explains that they called him Kafir since MGA had named himself as Eisa (As) and ascribedall the prophecies of Eisa (as) onto himself. Maulvi Muhammad Hussain Batalvi argues on behalf of MGA and told Muhammad, Abdul Aziz and Abdullah (ahl-e-hadith imam’s from Ludhiana) that they were wrong with their assertions, since MGA was also claiming that Eisa (As) would physically return in the same book. However, time would tell, MGA was lying. He lied about his prophethood the same way.
MGA never said a word about this topic until 1891. In January of 1891, MGA claimed to be the Messiah and again denied prophethood. However, this time, Syed Muhammad Hussain Batalvi was at the forefront of the Takfir vs. MGA. MGA kept on denying his prophethood for 10 years, until 1901, wherein he finally claimed prophethood in a sneaky way and backdated it to 1880, when he first published the Barahin-i-Ahmadiyya vol. 1-2.
Nevertheless, in the below, we have made the 156 page review by Syed Muhammad Hussain Batalvi from 1884 available as a free download.

“In our opinion, in this age and in view of the present circumstances, this is such a book that the like of it has not been written up to this time in Islam. … Its author … has proved himself firm in helping the cause of Islam, with his property, with his pen and tongue and his personal religious experience, to such an extent that an example of it is rarely met with among the Muslims who have gone before … who, besides helping Islam … have also come forward with
their religious experiences and have proclaimed, as against the opponents of Islam and the deniers of revelation, the manly challenge that whoever doubted the truth of
revelation might come … and witness the truth thereof and who have made non-Muslims taste of the same”

“”””The author of this book has proved his devotion to Islam by such help with money, life, pen, tongue, conduct and writings, the like of which has seldom been found among the Muslims… The author belongs to our neighborhood and in our early life when we were studying Qutbi and Sharah Mulla, he was our class-fellow. Ever since then we have been continuously in touch with each other through correspondence and meetings. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to affirm that we are intimately acquainted with his circumstances and ideas… The author of Braheen Ahmadiyya has upheld the honor of the Muslims.”””
