Intro

In Seeratul Mahdi, Mirza Bashir Ahmad autheticated a quote by MGA wherein MGA claims that any Ahmadi who hasn’t read the books of MGA, MGA has doubt on this faith (in ahmadiyya). However, in 2008-2010 era, the 5th Khalifa had the quote partially translated and totally changed it. He changed the last part from, “has doubt on this faith (in ahmadiyya)” to “has pride” (See page 4/5 of the PDF).

The quote
Seerat-ul-Mahdi, rawayat No. 407, Vol. 2, P. 78 (1927)

“Anyone who has not read my books at least three times, his faith is in doubt.”

Transliteration:
“Moulvi Sher Ali sahib nay mujh say baiyan kia kay hazrat sahib fermaya kertay thay kay hamaari jamaat kay admioun ko chahieey kay kum az kum  teen dafaa  hamaree kitaboun kaa mutaala karain – aour fermatay thay kay jo hamaree kutab kaa mutaala naheen kerta us kay imaan kay mutalaq mujhay shubaa (doubt) hai”
