In 1947, this info was repeated in the famous work “Life of Ahmad” by Maulvi Dard.

“In childhood, my education was done in this manner that when I was 6,7 years old, a persian-speaking teacher was appointed for me who taught me Holy Quran and some persian books and the name of this teacher was Fazal Ilahi. And when my age was about 10 years, then an Arabic teacher was appointed for my education whose name was Fazal Ahmad ……. From him I read some books and the grammar. When I reached 17 or 18 years of age, I had the opportunity of receiving education from another Molvi Sahib, his name was Gul Ali Shah……. From this lastly mentioned Molvi Sahib I studied grammar and logic and Herbal Medicine (Hikmat).”

“”There existed no school, college or educational institution in those days, and knowledge was
generally at a discount. But as Ahmad belonged to a noble family, his father engaged a tutor for him when he was six or seven years of age, i.e., about 1841. The name of the tutor was Fadl Ilahi. He was a resident of Qadian and belonged to the Hanafi school, and taught his pupil the Holy Quran and a few elementary Persian books.””
