Muallim Osman was Ceylan's friend in prison. He learnt a thorough lesson from him and has the ability to be a second Ceylan. It is astonishing, I received a letter saying that the two Sufi‑inclined people I mention in my prayers everyday by name within the circle of the Nurjus, had attacked me and the Risale-i Nur with the idea of selling themselves. I was not offended and prayed for them even more. Just like years ago with the elderly well-known shaykh who maligned us in Istanbul due to the machinations of the former [People's] Party, I looked on them as brothers to me and friends, and I forgave them. But I would like them to read the two Flashes on sincerity.
My brothers! You should not be offended by such people, and do not get into arguments with them.
