اگرچھ یہ قصہ انکی کتابوں میں مذکور ہے لکین اس سے کچہ ثابت نہيں ہوتا ۔ ان کی کتابیں نہ ہمارے اوپر حجت ہے نہ ہی تاریخ کے اعتبار سے اس کی کوئي حیثیت ہے۔ لھذا اس کو نہ ماننا چاھۓ -

Even though this incident is mentioned in the Sikh books, it is not considered as a proof. Their books are not proof for us and nor is it accepted for historical aspects. One should not believe in the incident.

And Allah knows best
