Intro
In 1882, via Barahin-i-Ahmadiyya (Vol. 3)(see page 199), MGA claimed that a few years earlier (late 1870’s), he was short on money for the Barahin project (300 arguments), and abruptly received a revelation which is identical to 19:25 of the Quran (see the full quote in the below). It should be noted that in 19:25 Maryam was referred as feminine, but in MGA’s version of 19:25, Maryam is referred to in the masculine way. In 1884, via a letter to Mir Abbas Ali (See 2018-2019 edition of tadhkirah, page 87), MGA claimed that 66:12 of the Quran was about him, and not Maryam. By 1900, MGA was addressing his lost revelations about having menses (menstruation). In 1902, via Noah’s Ark (see pages 82-83), MGA said that he was named Maryam in this very same revelation 20 years earlier, and he argues that he has suffered like Maryam (see the full quote in the below). In 1909, via Nuzul ul Maseeh, MGA said: “the only difference being that Mary was then suffering from physical exhaustion and I was suffering from lack of financial means”. In 1988, Malik Ghulam Farid connected MGA to 21:92 directly (see the 2018 edition).

1902
Noah’s Ark (see pages 82-83), MGA said:
“”That is, then the pain of delivery caused Mary; that is myself, to go towards the trunk of a date palm. In other words, I was confronted with the common masses, the ignorant, and their benighted scholars who did not possess the fruit of belief. They rejected and ridiculed her and unleashed a storm of invective. Then did Mary say: ‘Would that I had died before this and become a thing forgotten.’ This refers to the clamour first raised by the Muslim clerics on the whole, who found my claim to be intolerable””.

[Notebook of the Revelations of the Promised Messiah, p. 42]
[Arabic] The pains of childbirth brought him to the trunk of a date-palm tree and he said: O! Would that I had died before this and had become a thing quite forgotten. Shake the trunk of the date-palm tree, there will fall upon you fresh dates. [Publishers]

The quote
Barahin-i-Ahmadiyya, volume-5, online english edition see pages 135-137
“”But the question is: Why do the Hadith refer to the one who will become ‘Isa from this Ummah as being Ibn Maryam [the Son of Mary], whereas he is not the son of Maryam? Know, therefore, that this confusion that afflicts the minds of the ignorant has been cleared in Surah Tahrim of the Holy Quran in which certain individuals of this Ummah have been likened to Maryam, and the spirit of ‘Isa is said to have been breathed into them. This clearly shows that some individual from this Ummah would first attain the status of Maryam and then the spirit would be breathed into this ‘Maryam’, who will then be elevated and called ‘Ibn Maryam’.
Someone may question, ‘If this is true, then there should have been some reference to this in your revelations too.’ Let me say in reply that this point was not only hinted at, but also fully expounded upon in the previous parts of Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya twenty-five years ago, wherein—by way of a subtle simile—I have been described as Ibn Maryam. You may take the book in your hands and find that, in the beginning, God named me ‘Maryam’ and said:
یا مریم اسكن انت وزوجك الجنۃ
Meaning: ‘Enter Paradise O Maryam, you and your companion.’
Then, many pages later, which were written quite some time later, God Almighty said:
یا مریم نفختُ فیك من لدنی روح الصدق
Meaning: ‘O Maryam, I have breathed into you the spirit of truth.’ This breathing was a spiritual conception—so to speak—for the words used here are the same as the Holy Quran uses with regard to Maryam the Truthful when the spirit was breathed into her, which meant that she became pregnant and the pregnancy resulted in the birth of ‘Isa. In the same way, He said to me that the spirit had been breathed into me, and so this was a spiritual conception. Then later in the same book, I was addressed as ‘Isa, for after the breathing of the divine spirit, the state of Maryam was ready to be transformed into ‘Isa, and this state is metaphorically described as conception. And, finally, from this Maryam-like state, emerged ‘Isa. It was to signify this that I was named ‘Isa towards the end of the book, while at the beginning I had been called ‘Maryam’.
Now reflect with decency, fairness, and piety on this verse of Surah Tahrim in which certain persons of this Ummah have been likened to Maryam, and which then speaks of the breathing of the spirit into Maryam—signifying the conception that would result in the birth of ‘Isa. And then read all these portions from the previous parts of Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya and have fear of God and look how He first named me ‘Maryam’ and then spoke of the spirit being breathed into me, and at the end of the book declared me ‘Isa, born of this Maryam’s spiritual conception.”””

Nuzulul-Masih, p. 163, Ruhani Khaza’in, vol. 18, p. 541
This revelation was vouchsafed to Mary at the time of the birth of her son ‘Isa [Jesus], may peace be upon him. She was feeling weak and exhausted. In the same book Barahin-e-Ahmadiyyah, God the Almighty named me Mary also and commanded me:
[Arabic] [Be of the righteous and the truthful.]
See page 242 of Barahin-e-Ahmadiyyah [Ruhani Khaza’in, volume 1, page 267]. Therefore, the revelation granted to me indicates that my spiritual condition of being Mary had now given spiritual birth to a child who was named ‘Isa [Jesus]. So long as my spiritual condition of
being Jesus was in its elementary stages the spiritual qualities that I possessed as Mary continued to nurture him and when he came into his full powers he was informed:
[Arabic] [O ‘Isa I shall cause you to die and shall raise you towards Me.]
See page 556 of Barahin-e-Ahmadiyyah [Ruhani Khaza’in, volume 1, page 664]. It was the same promise which was set out in surah at-Tahrim [last verse of Chapter 66 of the Holy Qur’an]. In accordance with this promise, it was incumbent that someone from among the Muslims should be named Mary and through the spiritual process ‘Isa [Jesus] should be born and should be called Son of Mary. I am that person. Mary was commanded: and so was I, the only difference being that Mary was then suffering from physical exhaustion and I was suffering from lack of financial means.
