While in Sialkot (1864-1868), Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's best friend was a Hindu lawyer Lala Bhim Sen

Intro
In the 1899-1902 era (30+ years after the fact)(see full ref in the below), Mirza Ghulam Ahmad told the world that while he was in Sialkot, as he (MGA) was working in the courts, he (MGA) allegedly predicted that Lala Bhim Sen (who had recently taken a test to become a lawyer, Mukhtar test) would be the only person to pass. MGA alleges to have told 30+ (anonymous) people. MGA then says it happened, Lala Bhim Sen was the only person to pass. Whenever MGA needed money, he would often write to Bhim Sin for a loan (Seerat-ul-Mahdi, Vol. 1, p.139). Zaitoon FM did a video on Lala Bheem Sain herein too.

The Al-Hakam tells us (via the Al-Fazl of 15 January 1916) that Sheikh Yacub Ali Irfani is working on an autobiography of MGA, as he spoke to Walter. Sheikh Yacub Ali Irfani told Walter that he spoke to MGA’s eldest son (Mirza Sultan Ahmad), who was fast friends with Kanwar Seen (who is now the principal of Law College Lahore)(Lala Bhim Seen’s son) has given many letters and other pieces of information about MGA’s early life.

In 1935, via “Mujadid-a-Azam”, Ahmadiyya sources alleged that in the office of Deputy Commissioner of the Sialkot District, essentially a tax collector (see “Mujadid-e-Azim“, online abridged English edition). His maternal grandfather, Deputy Mithan Lal, had used his contacts with the Deputy Commissioner to obtain temporary permission for Lala Bheem Sen to practice law.

In 1947, Dard tells us what MGA didn’t mention, i.e. that MGA was also was part of this group that tested and he (MGA) also failed. Dard spelled his name as L. Bhim Sain.

In the 1970’s Zafrullah Khan (see page 9) tells us that MGA was a classmate of his in roughly the 1850’s at Batala with studied with Maulvi Gul Ali Shah (Batalvi was there too).

“””There is a lawyer in Sialkot, by the name of Lala Bhim Sen. When he appeared in the law examination from Sialkot district, I told him that it had been conveyed to me in a dream that the candidates who had taken the law examination, or that of paralegal status from that district, would all fail, with the sole exception of Lala Bhim Sen. I communicated this to about
thirty other people also. So it came to pass: with the exception of Lala Bhim Sen, all candidates who sat for the law or paralegal examination were declared unsuccessful. He still lives in Sialkot and can testify on oath to what I have stated.”””
