Hazret-i Üstad, in the last years of his life, while giving lessons on positive service in the service of Risale-i Nur to visitors, especially official couples and some members of parliament who came to him, he would mention and declare that Said used to face four brutal commanders alone from his past life. By mentioning his extraordinary courage and bravery at that time, he would compare his current positive actions in the Risale-i Nur publishing and service and with the Nur Students community to his attitude on that day as evidence. For example, in the last part of the Emirdağ Letter, in his last lesson to his students:
“Our duty is to act positively. It is not to act negatively. It is to serve the religious service according to the will of God, not to interfere with the divine duty. We are obliged to face every difficulty with patience and gratitude within the positive faith service that results in the preservation of the world.
"For example, taking myself as an example, I say: I have never bowed to oppression and tyranny from the beginning. Many events in my life have proven that I have never yielded to oppression. For example, I did not rise against the commander in Russia, I did not pay any attention to the questions of the pashas in the court regarding the threat of execution in the Divan-ı Harb-i Örfî, and my attitude towards these four commanders shows that I did not bow to oppression. However, for thirty years, I have acted positively, not negatively, and have not interfered with the divine duty. I have responded to the treatment done to me with patience and contentment. Just like Aleyhisselâm and those who suffered greatly in the battles of Badr and Uhud, I have faced them with patience and contentment..."
Also, in one of the letters from the Emirdağ Letter, mentioning these six miracles: "...Third: To an important official who came to me yesterday, I said: Three amazing events from the life of the old Said have occurred today, which is the miracle of the upcoming Risale-i Nur.

He opened a curtain and said from the hidden word of Truth,
He spoke of that fire, and from both the fire and the greeting.
"O fire, my friend and noble Abraham,
Cast away your custom, do not burn him today, you are unjust!"
A hidden address came again from the Truth,
A noble servant was also saved from the sword.
That light protected Jonah from the whale,
With that light, it destroyed the people of Lut.
That beauty and grace made the worlds astonished,
Where did Joseph of Canaan find such a form?
What is wisdom, Job endured all those sorrows,
And what is the secret, Jacob wept for Joseph.
Why did he not feel any emotion when dying and rising again?
That arrowed prophet, the noble martyr, is the honor of Cherub.
Why did Adam and Eve weep with longing?
Who was the cause of this long, great lawsuit?
Ah, why was the Garden of Eden abandoned?
Why did a place of rest become the world of hardship?
On the luminous city of Tour, that day was the honor of Moses,
All the secrets of the word were revealed and discovered.
If the honor of David recited a part of the Psalms,
It would seem as if the great gathering of the hereafter had begun.
I do not know why, the wind and waters always listen to him,
I do not know why, always sighing with the sound of "Ah".

This is the last lesson given by the Master Bediüzzaman to his Nur students before his passing!
Beloved brothers; Our duty is to act positively, not negatively. It is to serve the spiritual cause according to the will of God, and not to interfere with the divine duty. We are obliged to face every hardship with patience and gratitude, within the positive service of faith that results in the preservation of the spiritual order.
For example, taking myself as an example, I have never bowed to tyranny and oppression from the beginning. In my life, I have never removed tyranny, and this has been proven by many events. For instance, not standing up for the commander in Russia, not giving any importance to the questions of the judges in the Court of War, despite the threat of execution, and my attitude towards four commanders shows that I have never submitted to tyranny. However, for thirty years, I have acted positively, not negatively, and have not interfered with the divine duty. For this truth, I have met the treatment done against me with patience and contentment. Just like Hazrat Aleyhisselâm and those who suffered greatly in the battles of Badr and Uhud, I have faced them with patience and contentment.
Yes, for example, even when a general case was decided against us based on false claims that proved 81 of my mistakes in court, I did not even curse them. Because the main issue is the spiritual struggle of this time. It is to build a wall against spiritual destruction. With this, we help the inner spiritual order with all our strength.
Yes, there is strength in our profession. But this strength is for the preservation of the spiritual order. With the principle of "1. And no bearer of burdens shall bear the burden of another," which means "A criminal's brother, his family, or his children cannot be held responsible for him," this is why I have tried to preserve the spiritual order with all my strength throughout my life. This strength is not against the inner, but only against external aggression. According to the principle of the mentioned verse, our duty is to help the inner spiritual order with all our strength. That is why internal wars that violate the spiritual order in the Islamic world have occurred only once in a thousand times. And that was due to a difference in internal jurisprudential opinions. And the spiritual struggle
