There are two kinds of knowledge. One kind belongs only to the Almighty Himself, and the other kind Allah Almighty gives to His servants.
We are speaking about that second kind only, for the first kind, the knowledge belonging to His Essence (Dhat), is impossible to behold, even for the Angels, Prophets and Saints, off limits!
When Allah Almighty called His Beloved Prophet (PBUH) on theNight of the Ascension (Laylatul-miraj) and spoke to him withoutintermediary; He imparted unto the Holy Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) three types, or areas of knowledge.
One part of this Knowledge, He ordered the Holy Prophet Muhammad(صلى الله عليه وسلم) to keep for himself only:
“No one can know that; it is private between Me and you.”
The second part, He allowed the Holy Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم), to share with a selected elite (Khawas) of the Nation(Ummah), and the third part He ordered to be opened to everyone.
The palm tree has knowledge that it may produce dates; the orange tree has a different knowledge, as it learned from its Lord to make oranges. Apple trees produce apples, olive trees olives, and just so everything in the universe is producing according to its rank and position.
You are yet like a seed which hasn’t even been planted.
As the seed must be covered from this world, then you can know yourself.
This is the reason why the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) relates from Allah Almighty:
“As long as you don’t know yourself you can’t know your Lord.”

The Hadith about Mir’aaj written in al Mawahib by Imam Al-Qastalani Rehmatullahi ’Alaih declares.
“My Rabb revealed to me three sciences. He told me not to reveal thefirst one to anyone, because no one but I can understand this science. He said, “You may communicate the second science to thosewhom you wish.The third science to all of your Ummah”
It is significant that Our Beloved Prophet Sayyedina Muhammad Mustufa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam did not declare;“ The science revealed to me by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala is solely the science to be taught to all the Ummah”
He told there were two other sciences, too.
The second science to be taught which Our Beloved Prophet Sayyedina Muhammad Mustufa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam was that ofWilaya, the science of Tasawwuf or spirituality, the science that deals with the Batin and the reality of Islam, given to the Sahaba, TheAlwiyah and the pious.
This science of Wilaya which was given to Hadrat Khidr alayhis 'salam is mentioned in Surah al Khaaf;
“Knowledge from Us was given to him”
The thirds science is the knowledge of Fiqh, which was ordered to be revealed to everybody.
The thirds science is the knowledge of Fiqh, which was ordered to be revealed to everybody.
It is a collection of the blessed sayings and deeds of Our BelovedRasoolullah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallamso that Marifas ofWilaya have been following from his blessed heart Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam into other hearts.
Knowledge Given To A Sahaba Radi Allahu anhu:
Knowledge Given To A Sahaba Radi Allahu anhu:
Hadrat Abu Hurairah Radi Allahu anhu said; I learnt two sciences from Our Beloved Prophet Sayyedina Muhammad Mustufa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam. I have conveyed to you the first one. You cannot comprehend the second one and you willkill me if I disclose it.”
Abu Hurayra left out certain hadiths untold out of fear for his life if he were to reveal all that the Prophet - Allâh bless and greet him and his Family - had told him about forthcoming events (of which the Prophet predicted literally thousands), particularly in connection with the Banû Umayya.
Consequently Abu Hurayra decried the governor of MadînaMarwân ibn al-Hakam; warned of a terrible disaster about to befall the Arabs; and prayed for death before the year 60, the year Yazîd ibn Mu`âwiya came to power:
Consequently Abu Hurayra decried the governor of MadînaMarwân ibn al-Hakam; warned of a terrible disaster about to befall the Arabs; and prayed for death before the year 60, the year Yazîd ibn Mu`âwiya came to power:
Under the rule of Yazîd ibn Mu`âwiya three scandals took place: al-Husayn ibn `Alî was killed; Madîna was ransacked for three days during which the Companions were massacred, after which no survivor of the battle of Badr was left on earth; and a thousand unmarried women gave birth to fatherless children; finally, the Ka`ba was destroyed and burnt, at which time Yazîd died.
The knowledge of Hadrat Abu Hurairah Radi Allahu anhu and the Hadith quoted below about the state of Harris Ibn La’man, Radi Allahu anhu a Sahabhi, is an example of the gift of ‘Ilm-e-Batin’ given to the Sahabhi and the Alwiyah.
Sahaba See Far And Near, Heaven And Hell!
Imam Abu Hanifa Radi Allahu anhu writes that Haaris Ibn La’man Radi Allahu anhu and Haaris Bin Na’man Radi Allahu anhu have said;
“ Once I went to Our Beloved Prophet Sayyedina Muhammad Mustufa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam who asked me a question,“O Haaris, in what state did you pass the day?”
I replied; “ As a True Muslim” Our Beloved Prophet Sayyedina Muhammad Mustufa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam asked me the state of my faith”
Haaris ibn Na’man Radi Allahu anhu replied; “ I see the Throne of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and the people of the Paradise helping each other and the people of Hell lamenting in Hell. I see in front of me eight Heavens and seven Hells as clear as the Idol worshippers see their idols. I can recognise each individual just like a miller can recognize the wheat from barley, ie. That is, who is to go to Paradise and who is to be found in Hell? In front of me people are like fish and ants. Shall I stay silent or continue to speak?”
Our Beloved Prophet Sayyedina Muhammad Mustufa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam told him to stop and say no more.
I replied; “ As a True Muslim” Our Beloved Prophet Sayyedina Muhammad Mustufa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam asked me the state of my faith”
Haaris ibn Na’man Radi Allahu anhu replied; “ I see the Throne of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and the people of the Paradise helping each other and the people of Hell lamenting in Hell.

[Fiqah Akbar, Imam Abu Hanifa; Jam –e- Qabir, Imam Suyuti]
" I can almost see the Throne of my Lord..."
Harith ibn Malik al-Ansari passed by the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) who asked him,
“How are you this morning, O Harith?” and he replied, “This morning I am a true believer in Allah.” The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: “Take care of what you say, for everything has a proof to it, so what is the proof of your belief?” He said: “I have turned myself away from this world by keeping awake at night and staying thirsty by day; and I can almost see the Throne of my Lord in full view before me, and I can see the people of the Garden visiting each other, and the people of the Fire wailing to each other.” The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said, “O Harith! You have realized (the truth), therefore cling to it.” Some versions add, “(This is) a believer whose heart Allah has illumined.”
Recorded by Tabarani in his Mu’jam al-Kabir (3:266 #3367),Quda’i (Musnad Shihab, 2:127 #1028), Abu Nu’aym (Hilya, 1:242),Bazzar (Zawa’id, 1:26 #32), Ibn Abi Shayba in his Musannaf (7:226-27) and his Kitab al-Iman (#114-115), Abdur-Razzaq (11:129 #20114), Imam Bayhaqi in his Shu’ab al-Iman (7:362-63) and Kitab az- Zuhd (p. 355 #971), Ibn Mubarak in Kitab az-Zuhd (p. 106 #316),Ibn ‘Asakir (38:274, 54:227-28), Hakim Tirmidhi (Asl #6, #21, #53, #57, #265), al-‘Askari in his Amthal, Ibn Mandah, ‘Abd ibn Humayd in his Musnad (#444), Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman Sulami(Forty Hadiths, #10), and others, and also mentioned by
Abu Hanifa (Fiqh al-Akbar), Ibn Hajar (Isaba, #1480), andHaythami in his Majma’ (1:57).
It also has a supporting narration from Ibn Mas’ud, Ibn ‘Abbas, and others, recorded by Hakim (4:311), Ibn Abi Shayba(8:126-27), Ibn Mubarak (Zuhd, p. 106-07 #315), Bayhaqi in his Shu’ab (#10552) and Zuhd (#983), Ibn Abi Dunya (Qasr al- Amal, #129), Hakim Tirmidhi (Asl #86), and by Tabari (with numerous chains), Ibn Kathir, Suyuti, ar-Razi, Qurtubi, Baghawi, Baydawi, Ibn ‘Atiyyah, Ibn Jawzi, Nasafi, al-Khazin, Abu’s Su’ud, Ibn Abi Hatim, and others in their Tafsirs of Q6:125 and Q39:22, and its chains support each other according to Ibn Kathir, Shawkani, and others.
In it the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: “Indeed, when the light enters the heart of a believer, it expands and widens.” They asked him, “Is there a sign of this?” He (صلى الله عليه وسلم) replied, “Yes, turning away in disgust from the lower world, turning wholly towards the Akhira, and preparation for death before it comes,” then he recited this verse.
Harith’s case is a concrete example of this hadith.

Knowledge of Unseen
(In the light of Quran and Sunnah)
Ahlus-Sunna wal Jam'ah believe that Allah has given the knowledge of the Ghayb (unseen) to the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), and that it is also permissable to say that our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) knows the knowledge of the Ghayb. However, it is not possible nor permissable to say that the Prophet's (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) knowledge of the Ghayb is equal to that of Allah - or even like the knowledge of Allah, since Allah's knowledge is His own and the Prophet's (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) knowledge has been given/granted to him by Allah.
The Ahle Sunnah Wal Jama'at also believes that the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), after being informed by Allah Ta'ala, is aware of everything that happened and will happen.
Categories in knowledge of Unseen
A) 'Dhaati & Atai'i [Personal & Bestowed]
A) 'Dhaati & Atai'i [Personal & Bestowed]
B) 'Kulli & Baadh' [Total & Partial]
1: Ilm al Ghayb ad Dhaati - [Personal Knowledge Of Ghayb] Is of Allah subhana wa Tallah alone, It is He who has the knowledge of Ghayb by His "OWN SELF" and no one has taught Him, revealed to Him, shown Him, and this is the knowledge of Unseen which has been made Khaas (specific) with Alah in Quran at many places.
2: Ilm al Ghayb al Atai'i - [Bestowed Knowledge Of Ghayb} Is of RasoolAllah (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم), he was given this knowledge by Allah, he himself did not know it, but Allah tallah bestowed the knowledge of Ghayb on him, this knowledge of Unseen is also mentioned at many places in Quran so rejection any of these two or having confusion by mixing these two together is a fallacy.
3: Ilm al Ghayb al Kulli - [Total Knowledge Of Ghayb] Is of Allah subhana wa tallah alone, it is He who knows everything in his creation and what was before the creation, no creation of Allah knows as much as Allah tallah knows, Allah tallah knows absolutely EVERY GHAYB, nothing what so ever is hidden from Him, however when it is referred to Prophet (Peace be upon him) then it only means in "REFERENCE TO MAKHLOOQ NOT KHALIQ"
4: Ilm al Ghayb al Baadh - [Partial Knowledge Of Ghayb] Is of RasoolAllah (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم), Allah tallah gave limited, partial, some, knowledge of Ghayb to RasoolAllah (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم). What ever Ghayb RasoolAllah(صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم) knows, revealed, prophecised, is in the category of 'Partial'. For no creation of Allah can know as much as Allah, not RasoolAllah (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم) not even Al Lawh Al Mafooz
Key Points
● Some Verses Of Quran Reffer To Dhaati [Personnel] Knowledge Of Ghayb
● Some Verses of Quran Are Referring To Atai'i Knolwedge Of Ghayb,
● Some Verses Are Referring To Kulli [Total, Absolute] knowlege of Ghayb,
● Some Verses Are Addressing Baadh [Partial] Knowledge Of Ghayb,
● Verses reffering to Allahs Knowledge of Ghayb are Dhaati & Kulli, verses reffering to creations knowledge are Atai'i & Baadh.
● Prophets(صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم) Knowledge Was/Is Not Same At All The Times, It Increases/Increased Gradually
● In Some Cases 'Early Period Hadiths/Quran' Are Abrogated By 'Later Period Hadiths/Quran
● In Some Verses Of The Quran Prophet صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم Is Commanded To Be Humble
● Other Verses Indicate His (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم) Reality
Q:"How Much Knowledge?"
The Prophet صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم knowlegde of unseen is greater then all creations of Allah, but in no way equal to Allah, But Allah has granted him (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم) knowledge of every thing in theuniverse, but Allah has no limit and he begins where this universe ends so in no way is Prophet (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم) being compaired to Allah as some ignorants claim.
1. Allah Subhan Wa Taalah says in Quran:
"He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted with His Mysteries Except an apostle whom He has chosen: and then He makes a band of watchers march before him and behind him"(72:26/27)
Ibn Hajar quotes al-Qurtubi (rah) saying:
The truthful, righteous Muslim (al-muslim al-sadiq al-salih) is he whose state matches that of Prophets and thereby is bestowed (ukrima) some of the same kind of gift they were, and that is to behold the unseen (wa huwa al-ittila` `ala al-ghayb). As for the disbeliever (al-kafir), the corrupt person (al-fasiq), and the contentious one who confuses matters for the listeners (al-mikhlat)-- then no
Reference: Al-Qurtubi as quoted by Ibn Hajar in Fath al-Bari (1989 ed.) 12:449.
2. Allah Subhan Wa Taalah says in Qur'an:
وَعَلَّمَكَ مَا لَمْ تَكُنْ تَعْلَمُ وَكَانَ فَضْلُ اللّهِ عَلَيْكَ عَظِيمًا
Allah has sent down to you the Book and Wisdom and has taught to you what you did not know, and great is the grace of Allah upon you" [Sura an-Nisa, verse 113]
Imam Jalal udin Suyuti Writes:مِنْ الْأَحْكَام وَالْغَيْب
Translation: (Taught to you what you did not know) means that Allah Most High has told the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) of Ahkam and Unseen.
Imam Ibn Jarir at-Tabari writes under this verse:مِنْ خَبَر الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ , وَمَا كَانَ , وَمَا هُوَ كَائِن قَبْل , ذَلِكَ مِنْ فَضْل اللَّه عَلَيْك يَا مُحَمَّد مُذْ خَلَقَك , فَاشْكُرْهُ عَلَى مَا أَوْلَاك مِنْ إِحْسَانه إِلَيْك بِالتَّمَسُّكِ بِطَاعَتِهِ , وَالْمُسَارَعَة إِلَى رِضَاهُ وَمَحَبَّته , وَلُزُوم الْعَمَل بِمَا أَنْزَلَ إِلَيْك فِي كِتَابه وَحِكْمَته , وَمُخَالَفَة مَنْ حَاوَلَ إِضْلَالك عَنْ طَرِيقه وَمِنْهَاج دِينه , فَإِنَّ اللَّه هُوَ الَّذِي يَتَوَلَّاك بِفَضْلِهِ , وَيَكْفِيك غَائِلَة مَنْ أَرَادَك بِسُوءٍ وَحَاوَلَ صَدَّك عَنْ سَبِيله
Translation: Allah Most High has told the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) to thank Him as He has informed the Prophet of what has already happened and what will happen (in future) and this is a bestowal of great grace.

Narrated 'Umar:
One day the Prophet stood up amongst us for a long period andinformed us about the beginning of creation (and talked about everything in detail) till he mentioned how the people of Paradise will enter their places and the people of Hell will enter their places. Some remembered what he had said, and some forgot it.

Narated By Hudhaifa :The Prophet once delivered a speech in front of us wherein he left nothing but mentioned (about) everything that would happen till the Hour. Some of us stored that our minds and some forgot it. (After that speech) I used to see events taking place (which had been referred to in that speech) but I had forgotten them (before their occurrence). Then I would recognize such events as a man recognizes another man who has been absent and then sees and recognizes him.

Narrated Mu'adh ibn Jabal
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) was detained one morning from observing the dawn prayer (in congregation) along with us till the sun had almost appeared on the horizon. He then came out hurriedly and Iqamah for prayer was observed and he conducted it (prayer) in brief form. When he had concluded the prayer by saying As-salamu alaykum wa Rahmatullah, he called out to us saying: Remain in your places as you were. Then turning to us he said: I am going to tell you what detained me from you (on account of which I could not join you in the prayer) in the morning. I got up in the night and performed ablution and observed the prayer as had been ordained for me. I dozed in my prayer till I was overcome by (sleep) and lo and lo, I found myself in the presence of my Lord, the Blessed and the Glorious, in the best form. He said: Muhammad! I said: At Thy service, my Lord. He said: What these highest angels contend about? I said: I do not know. He repeated it thrice. He said: Then I saw Him put his palms between my shoulder blades till I felt the coldness of his fingers between the two sides of my chest. Then everything was illuminated for me and I recognized everything. He said: Muhammad! I said: At Thy service, my Lord. He said: What do these high angels contend about? I said: In regard to expiations. He said: What are these? I said: Going on foot to join congregational prayers, sitting in the mosques after the prayers, performing ablution well despite difficulties. He again said: Then what do they contend? I said: In regard to the ranks. He said: What are these? I said: Providing of food, speaking gently, observing the prayer when the people are asleep. He again said to me: Beg (Your Lord) and say: O Allah, I beg of Thee (power) to do good deeds, and abandon abominable deeds, to love the poor, that Thou forgive me and show mercy to me and when Thou intendst to put people to trial Thou causes me to die unblemished and I beg of Thee Thy love and the love of one who loves Thee and the love for the deed which brings me near to Thy love. Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: It is a truth, so learn it and teach it.

عَنْ عُمَرَ رضي الله عنه يَقُوْلُ : قَامَ فِيْنَا النَّبِيُّ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم مَقَامًا، فَأَخْبَرَنَا عَنْ بَدْءِ الْخَلْقِ حَتَّي دَخَلَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ مَنَازِلَهُمْ وَأَهْلُ النَّارِ مَنَازِلَهُمْ، حَفِظَ ذَلِکَ مَنْ حَفِظَهُ وَنَسِيَهُ مَنْ نَسِيَهُ.رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ.
Narrated 'Umar:
One day the Prophet stood up amongst us for a long period andinformed us about the beginning of creation (and talked about everything in detail) till he mentioned how the people of Paradise will enter their places and the people of Hell will enter their places. Some remembered what he had said, and some forgot it.

Narated By Hudhaifa :The Prophet once delivered a speech in front of us wherein he left nothing but mentioned (about) everything that would happen till the Hour. Some of us stored that our minds and some forgot it. (After that speech) I used to see events taking place (which had been referred to in that speech) but I had forgotten them (before their occurrence). Then I would recognize such events as a man recognizes another man who has been absent and then sees and recognizes him.

We participated in the Battle of Hunain along with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him).

When we were in the thick of the battle that man fought desperately and was wounded. It was said: Messenger of Allah, the person whom you at first called as the denizen of Fire fought desperately and died. Upon this the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) remarked: He was doomed to the Fire (of Hell). Some men were on the verge of doubt (about his fate) when it was said that he was not dead but fatally wounded.When it was night he could not stand the (pain of his) wound and killed himself. The Apostle (may peace be upon him) was informed of that. He (the Holy Prophet) observed: Allah is Great, I bear testimony to the fact that I am the servant of Allah and His messenger.

Narrated Anas : That when (the news of) the advance of Abu Sufyan (at the head of a force) reached him. the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) held consultations with his Companions. The narrator said: Abu Bakr spoke (expressing his own views), but he (the Holy Prophet) did not pay heed to him. Then spoke 'Umar (expressing his views), but he (the Holy Prophet) did not pay heed to him (too). Then Sa'd b. 'Ubada stood up and said: Messenger of Allah, you want us (to speak). By God in Whose control is my life, if you order us to plunge our horses into the sea, we would do so. If you order us to goad our horses to the most distant place like Bark al-Ghimad, we would do so. The narrator said: Now the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) called upon the people (for the encounter). So they set out and encamped at Badr. (Soon) the water-carriers of the Quraish arrived. Among them was a black slave belonging to Banu al-Hajjaj. The Companions of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) caught him and interrogated him about Abu Sufyan and his companions. He said: I know nothing about Abu Sufyan, but Abu Jahl, Utba, Shaiba and Umayya b. Khalaf are there.When he said this, they beat him. Then he said: All right, I will tell you about Abu Sufyan. They would stop beating him and then ask him (again) about Abu Sufyan. He would again say', I know nothing about Abu Sufyan, but Abu Jahl. 'Utba, Shaiba and Umayya b. Khalaf are there. When he said this, they beat him likewise. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) was standing in prayer. When he saw this he finished his prayer and said: By Allah in Whose control is my life, you beat him when he is telling you the truth, and you let him go when he tells you a lie. The narrator said: Then the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: This is the place where so and so would be killed. He placed his hand on the earth (saying) here and here; (and) none of them fell away from the place which the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) had indicated by placing his hand on the earth.

At the time of the Battle of Ahzab or the battle of the Trench, the Prophet went down to hit a rock with his pick, whereupon he said: "Bismillah" and shattered one third of the rock. Then he exclaimed: "Allahu akbar! I have been given the keys of Syria. By Allah, verily I can see her red palaces right from where I stand." Then he said: "Bismillah," and shattered another third and exclaimed: "Allahu akbar! I have been given the keys of Persia. By Allah, I can see her cities and her white palace right from where I stand." Then he said: "Bismillah" and shattered the remainder of the rock and exclaimed: "Allahu akbar!

Amr b. Akhtab reported:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) led us in the dawn prayer and then mounted the pulpit and addressed us until it was (time for the) noon prayer. He then came down the pulpit and observed prayer and then again mounted the pulpit and again addressed us until it was time for the 'Asr prayer. He then again came down and observed the prayer and again pointed the pulpit and addressed us until the sun was set andhe informed (about) everything (pertaining to turmoil) that lay hidden in the past and what lies in (the womb) of) the future and the most learned amongst us is one who remembers them well

Hadith
Narated By Ibn 'Abbas :
The Prophet (pbuh) passed by two graves. He said: Both (the dead) are being punished, but they are not being punished for a major (sin). One did not safeguard himself from urine. The other carried tales. He then called for a fresh twig and split it into two parts and planted one part on each grave and said: Perhaps their punishment may be mitigated as long as the twigs remain fresh.
Another version of Hammad has: "One of them did not cover himself while urinating." The version does not have the words: "He did not safeguard himself from urine."

Hadith
Anas reported:
The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) one day led us in the prayer and when he completed the Prayer he turned his face towards us and said: O People, I am your Imam, so do not precede me in bowing and prostration and in standing and turning (faces, i.e. In pronouncing salutation), for I see you in front of me and behind me, and then said: By Him in Whose hand Is the life of Muhammad, if you could see what I see, you would have laughed little and wept much more. They said: What did you see, Messenger of Allah? He replied: (I saw) Paradise and Hell.

'Uqbah bin 'Amir, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) one day went out and he offered the Prayer over the martyrs of Uhud just as the Prayer is offered over the dead. He then came back and sat on the pulpit and said: I will be the predecessor before you. I will be your witness and, by Allah,I perceive as if I am seeing with my own eyes my Hawd (River in Paradise) at this very moment and I have been given the keys of the treasures of the earth or the keys of the earth and, by Allah, I am not afraid that you might associate anything (with Allah after me), but I am afraid that you will be vying with one another (for the possession of) the treasures of the earth.

Imam al Qadhi Iyaadh (Rahimuhullah) in his Ash Shifa made a whole chapter on Prophet's Knowledge of Unseen!!
Chapter regarding grant of Ghuyub (Unseen) to Prophet (Peace be upon him) and of things which have to happen in future.
The hadiths on this subject are like a vast ocean, the depth of which cannot be found and the water of which cannot end. This is one aspect of his miracles which is "DEFINITELY KNOWN" We have many hadiths which have reached us by multiple paths of transmission (tawatur) which prove that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) has been given knowledge of Unseen. It is narrated by Hudhayfa (ra) that the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) stood on his (Pulpit) and "HE DID NOT LEAVE OUT ANYTHING BUT EXPLAINED WHAT SHALL HAPPEN UNTIL THE LAST HOUR" Whoever remembered it remembered it and whoever forgot it forgot it.[Qadhi Iyaad's Ash-Shifa, Volume No.1, Page No. 206]
On the next pages Qadhi Iyaadh (rah) mentions overwhelming ahadith which prove Prophet (Peace be upon him)'s knowledge of unseen, We shall present translation of some of them
Hudhayfa (ra) mentions that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) told us about all the leaders of evil who shall appear till the day of judgment, he told that they would be more than 300, he even told us"THEIR NAMES, THEIR FATHERS NAMES AND THE NAME OF THEIR TRIBES" [Sunnan Abi Dawud Volume No.2 , Page No.441-443] ....Uthman will be killed while reciting the Qur'an. Perhaps Allah will have him wearing a shirt [i.e. the Caliphate]. They will want to remove it and his blood will fall on his utterance of Allah's words: "Allah is enough for you against them." (2:137). [Mustadrak al Hakim ala Sahihayn 3:103]
The first from Ahlul bayt to pass away would be Fatima[Musnad Ahmed, 2:240].

The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said that: Khilafah will stay for 30 years and after this there will be Malookiyah (i.e. Kingship) [Sunnan Abu Dawud, 5:36] (Qadhi Iyaad) said: This was also fulfilled as Khilafah stayed till Imam Hassan (ra).. Regarding Same Imam Hassan (ra) the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: This son of mine is a Sayyid, Allah will bring peace between 2 groups of Muslims through him [Sahih Bukhari 5:22] (note): He did bring peace between his group and that of Ameer Muawiya (ra)
Qadhi Iyaad (rah) has at least mentioned 50 ahadith on proof of Prophet (Peace be upon him)'s knowledge of unseen and thus there remains no shadow of doubt about the vast Uloom al Ghayb being taught to Prophet (Peace be upon him] [Refer to Kitab ash-Shifa, Volume No.1, Pages: 206-212]

"I RECOGNIZED EVERYTHING!"
Explicit proof that Prophet (Peace be upon him) has complete Knowledge of Unseen (Of course it is grant of Allah and is in relevance to Makhlooq not Khaliq), The Hadith states that theProphet (salallaho alaihi wasalam) said:
"I found myself in the presence of my Lord, the Blessed and the Glorious, in the best form. He said: Muhammad! I said: At Thy service, my Lord. He said: What these highest angels contend about"?
I said: I do not know. He repeated it thrice. I said: I don’t know,Then I saw Him put his palms between my shoulder blades till I felt the coldness of his fingers between the two sides of my chest. "THEN EVERYTHING WAS ILLUMINATED TO ME AND I RECOGNIZED EVERYTHING!"
I said: I do not know. He repeated it thrice. I said: I don’t know,Then I saw Him put his palms between my shoulder blades till I felt the coldness of his fingers between the two sides of my chest. "THEN EVERYTHING WAS ILLUMINATED TO ME AND I RECOGNIZED EVERYTHING!"
Imam Tirimdhi said: This hadith is "HASSAN SAHIH" and I asked Muhammad bin Ismail (i.e. Imam Bukhari) about it and he said it is "HASSAN SAHIH" [Sunnan Tirimdhi, Vol.5, Page No. 966, Hadith # 3235, Published by Maktaba al Asriyyah, Beirut, Lebanon]

“Ask me! Ask me
(anything you want to)!”
(anything you want to)!”
Hazrat Anas bin Malik radhi-allahu-anhu relates that one day after midday, the Holy Prophet came from his house and led us in the Zuhr prayer, the Holy Prophet stood on the minbar. He spoke about the Day of Judgment and said that many great events would take place before it. Then Holy Prophet said, “If anyone wishes to ask me about anything then do so. I swear by Allah! Whilst I am standing here, I shall answer every question you ask me!”
Hazrat Anas radhi-allahu-anhu says that on hearing this everyone started crying (Through fear). The Holy Prophet was repeatedly saying, “Ask me!”
Hazrat Anas says that a man stood up and said, “O Holy Prophet! Where will my abode be (in the Hereafter)?” The Holy Prophet replied, “Hell”.
Then Hazrat Abdullah bin Huzafah radhi-allahu-anhu stood up and said, “O Holy Prophet! Who is my father?” The Holy Prophet replied, “Your father is Huzafah.”
Hazrat Anas says that the Holy Prophet again repeatedly said, “Ask me! Ask me (anything you want to)!” Seeing what was happening, Hazrat Umar radhi-allahu-anhu rose and sat very respectfully (as we do during ‘tashahhud’ in salah) in front of the Holy Prophet and said, “We are satisfied and contented that Allah is our Lord, that Islam is our ‘Deen’ (religion and way of life) and that Muhammad (sallallahu-alaihi-wasalam) is our prophet.” On hearing Hazrat Umar’s words, the Holy Prophet fell silent. Then he said, “I swera by Him (Allah) in whose control is my life! Just now during the (Zuhr) prayer, I was shown Paradise and Hell in front of this wall. I have never before witnessed good and evil as I have today.”

Hafiz Ibn Kathir writes:
"A shepherd was with his goats upon which a wolf came and grabbed one goat and ran. The shepherd then chased after the wolf to get the goat back. The wolf then spoke to him and said, 'Why do you take what food (rizq) which Allah has provided for me?' The shepherd was astonished that the wolf spoke. The wolf again said, 'If you are so surprised that I can talk then go to Madina. You will find the last of the Prophets, and he can inform you of the past and the future'. The shepherd left his goats and went straight to the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) and mentioned his experience. The Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)replied, 'The wolf spoke the truth.'

They ask :
"How much Knowledge?"
Shaykh al Islam Imam Muhi al Din al Nawawi (Fatawa al Nawawi)
سؤال: ما معنى قوله تعالى (قل لا يعلم من في السموت و الارض الغيب الا الله) و قول النبي –صلى الله عليه و سلم – (لا يعلم ما في غد الا الله) و اشباه هذا من القرآن و الحديث مع انه قد وقع علم ما في غد في معجزات الانبياء صلوات الله عليهم و سلامه و في كرامات الاولياء رضي الله عنهم؟
جواب: معناه لا يعلم ذلك استقلالا و علم احاطة بكل المعلومات الا الله و اما المعجزات و الكرامات فحصلت باعلام الله تعالى للانبياء و الاولياء لا استقلالا
“Question: What is the meaning of His saying the Most High (Say! No one knows who is in the skies and earth except Allah) and the saying of the Prophet – Peace be upon him – (No one knows what shall happen tomorrow except for Allah, and the likes of this from The Quran and Hadith, knowing that knowledge of what shall happen tomorrow has occurred in the miracles of the Prophets – Peace be upon them – and the miracles of the Awliyah – May Allah be pleased with them?
Answer: It’s meaning is that nobody knows that independently and no one knows and comprehends everything except Allah. As for the miracles thus they occur with the instruction of Allah for the Prophets and Awliya not independently.” [Fatawa al Nawawi; Muhi al Din al Nawawi; Pg. 172-173; Dar al Ma’rifah, Beirut]
Hafidh Ibn Hajr al Asqalani (Fath al Bari):و له (اي للنبي صلى الله عليه و سلم) صفة بها يدرك ما سيكون في الغيب و يطالع بها ما في اللوح المحفوظ كالصفة التي يفارق بها الذكي البليد فهذه صفات كمالات ثابتة للنبي
“And for him (i.e. The Prophet – Peace be upon him) is an attribute by which he comprehends what is to occur in the unseen, and by it he is able to study whatever is in the preserved tablet [al Lawh al Mahfuz], like an attribute by which the intelligent is able to distinguish the dull-witted. Thus these are the attributes of perfection which are proven for the Prophet.” [Fath al Bari Sharh Sahih al Bukhari; Ahmad Ibn Ali Ibn Muhammad al Asqalani; 16/21; Mustafa Bab Halabi, Egypt]
Imam Abu Hamid al Ghazali (Ihya Ulum al Din):و الرابع ان له صفة بها يدرك ما سيكون في الغيب اما في اليقظة او في المنام اذ بها يطالع اللوح المحفوظ فيرى ما فيه من الغيب
“And the fourth [i.e. attribute of a Prophet] is that verily there is for him an attribute by which he comprehends whatever is to happen in the unseen either while awake or while asleep, with it he studies the preserved tablet thus he sees whatever is in it from the unseen.”[Ihya Ulum al Din; Abu Hamid al Ghazali; 4/194; Dar al Ma’rifah, Beirut]
Imam Hafidh Ibn al Hajr al Haythami:و متى استفصل فقال: اردت بقولي المؤمن من يعلم الغيب ان بعض الاولياء قد يعلمه الله ببعض المغيبات قبل منه ذلك لانه جائز عقلا و واقع نقلا اذ هو من جملة الكرامات الخارجة عن الحصر على ممر الاعصار فبعضهم يعلمه بخطاب و بعضهم يعلمه بكشف حجاب و بعضهم يكشف له عن اللوح المحفوظ حتى يراه و يكفى بذلك ما اخبر به القرآن عن الخضر بناء على انه ولي و هو ما نقل عن جمهور العلماء و جميع العارفين و ان كان الاصح انه نبي و ما جاء عن ابي بكر الصديق رضي الله عنه انه اخبر عن حمل امراته انه ذكر و كان كذلك الخ
“When he explains himself and says ‘I intended with my statement that verily some of the Awliyah Allah taught them the unseen’ that [i.e. statement] will be accepted from him, because that is permissible logically and has occurred in that which has been transmitted to us since that is from the collective miracles which cannot be contained and which have passed throughout the generations. Some of them know it [i.e. the unseen] by the noble address, some of them know it by the raising of a veil and for some what is written on the preserved tablet [Al Lawh Al Mahfuz] is unveiled for them until they see it.
It suffices us [in proving that] what has been mentioned in The Quran regarding Khidr upon the belief that he was a Wali, this is what has been reported from the majority of the scholars and all of the Gnostics, even if the most correct opinions is that he is a prophet, and that which has been reported from Abu Bakr as Siddiq (May Allah be pleased with him) that he informed his wife who was carrying a child at the time that the child will be a boy and so he was.” [Al Fatawa al Hadithiya; Ibn Hajr al Haythami; Pg.222-223; Dar al Fikr, Damascus]
Qadhi Nasir al Din al Baydhawi:و الذي يدل عليها انه عليه الصلاة السلام ادعى النبوة بالاجماع و اظهر المعجزة انه اتى بالقرآن و تحدى به و لم يعارض و اخبر عن المعيبات
“That which indicates upon it [i.e. his prophecy (Peace be upon him)] is that indeed he claim Prophethood... and he (Peace be upon him) informed of the unseen.” [Tawali’ al Anwar; Nasir al Din al Baydawi; Pg.211; Al Maktaba al Azharia, Egypt]

Imam Qadhi Iyadh al Yahsubi:
و قيل هما (اي النبي و الرسول) مفترقان من وجه اذقد اجتمعا في النبوة هي التي الاطلاع على الغيب
“It is said that them two (i.e. Prophet and Messenger) are different in one respect. Yet they gather in Prophecy [Nabuwwah] which is being informed of the unseen” [al Shifa bi Ta’rif Huquq al Mustafa; Iyadh al Yahsubi; 1/161; Faruqi Kotob Khana, Multan]
و من ذلك ما اطلع عليه من الغيوب و ما يكون و الاحاديث في هذا الباب بحر لا يدرك قعره و لا ينزف غمره و هذه المعجزة من جملة معجزاته المعلومة على القطع الواصل الينا خبره على اتواتر لكثرة رواتها و اتفاق معانيها على الاطلاع على الغيب
“From that is what He has informed him of from the unseen and whatever is to happen, and the narrations in this chapter are an ocean the depth of which cannot be comprehended and the over flowing of which shall never settle, and this is a miracle from his collective miracles which are known decisively the narrations of which have reached by means of mass transmission and it’s meanings are agreed to mean being informed of the unseen.” [al Shifa bi Ta’rif Huquq al Mustafa; Iyadh al Yahsubi; 1/221; Faruqi Kotob Khana, Multan]
Mullah Ali al Qari:و قال ابن حجر اي جميع الكائنات التي في السموات بل و ما فوقها كما يستفاد من قصة المعراج و الارض هي بمعنى الجنس اي جميع ما في الارضين السبع بل و ما تحتها كما افاده اخباره عليه الصلوة و السلام عن الثور و الحوت الذين عليهما الارضون كلها
“Ibn Hajar said ‘I.e. everything which exists in the skies but rather what is above them as is gained from the story of the Ascension, and earth is in the meaning of genus i.e. everything that is in the seven earths but rather what is below them. As is gained from his reports – Upon him prayers and salutations – regarding the bull and fish upon which the all of the earths rest.” [Mirqat al Mafatih; Mullah Ali al Qari; 2/210; al Maktabah al Imdadiah, Multan]
Imam Baghawi:
(خلق الانسان علمه البيان)و قال ابن كيسان (خلق الانسان) يعني محمدا صلى الله عليه و سلم (علمه البيان) يعني بيان ما كان و ما يكون لانه كان يبين عن الاولين و الآخرين و عن يوم القيامة
“(He created man. He taught him the explanation)
Ibn Kaisan said (He created man) he means Muhammad – Peace be upon him – (He taught him the explanation) he means the explanation of whatever has transpired and whatever is to come, because he – Peace be upon him – would explain [the states] of the first and the last and of the day of resurrection” [Ma’alim al Tanzil; Muhi al Sunna Hussain al Fara al Baghawi; 7/2; al Taqaddum al Ilmiyyah, Egypt]

و من ذلك ما اطلع عليه من الغيوب و ما يكون و الاحاديث في هذا الباب بحر لا يدرك قعره و لا ينزف غمره و هذه المعجزة من جملة معجزاته المعلومة على القطع الواصل الينا خبره على اتواتر لكثرة رواتها و اتفاق معانيها على الاطلاع على الغيب
“From that is what He has informed him of from the unseen and whatever is to happen, and the narrations in this chapter are an ocean the depth of which cannot be comprehended and the over flowing of which shall never settle, and this is a miracle from his collective miracles which are known decisively the narrations of which have reached by means of mass transmission and it’s meanings are agreed to mean being informed of the unseen.” [al Shifa bi Ta’rif Huquq al Mustafa; Iyadh al Yahsubi; 1/221; Faruqi Kotob Khana, Multan]
Mullah Ali al Qari:و قال ابن حجر اي جميع الكائنات التي في السموات بل و ما فوقها كما يستفاد من قصة المعراج و الارض هي بمعنى الجنس اي جميع ما في الارضين السبع بل و ما تحتها كما افاده اخباره عليه الصلوة و السلام عن الثور و الحوت الذين عليهما الارضون كلها
“Ibn Hajar said ‘I.e. everything which exists in the skies but rather what is above them as is gained from the story of the Ascension, and earth is in the meaning of genus i.e. everything that is in the seven earths but rather what is below them. As is gained from his reports – Upon him prayers and salutations – regarding the bull and fish upon which the all of the earths rest.” [Mirqat al Mafatih; Mullah Ali al Qari; 2/210; al Maktabah al Imdadiah, Multan]

'Sariyah, the Mountain!'
Ibn 'Umar said: 'Umar sent an army and he put at the head of them a man called Sariyah. While 'Umar was delivering thekhutbah he began to cry out, 'Sariyah, the mountain!' three times.
Then later the messenger of the army came and he asked 'Umar, 'Amir al-Muminin, we were being defeated and in that situation we heard a voice crying out, "Sariyah, the mountain!" three times.
We put the mountain to our rear, and then Allah defeated them.' Someone said to 'Umar, 'You cried out with those words.'
That mountain, where Sariyah was, is close to Nahawand in the land of the non-Arabs (Persian Iraq).
Ibn 'Umar, in another version of the hadith, said: 'Umar was delivering the khutbah on the day of Jumu'ah and then he turned aside during his khutbah and said, 'Sariyah, the mountain!
He who asks the wolf to be a shepherd will be wronged.' People looked about, one to another. Then 'Ali said to them, 'Let him explain what he meant.' When he had finished they asked him and he said, 'It occurred to me in my mind that the idolators were defeating our brothers who were passing by a mountain, and that if they were to turn towards it, they would fight on one front only, but if they passed by it they would be destroyed. So there came out of me that which you claim you heard.'
He said: The messenger came a month later and mentioned that they had heard the voice of 'Umar on that day, and he said,'We turned towards the mountain, and Allah gave us victory.'
'Amr ibn al-Harith said: While 'Umar (ibn al-Khattab) was upon the mimbar delivering the khutbah on the day of jumu'ah suddenly he left off the khutbah and said, 'Sariyah, the mountain!' two or three times. Some of those present said, 'He has gone mad, he is insane.'
'Abd ar-Rahman ibn 'Auf went in to see him and he had confidence in him and he said, 'You give them room to talk against you. While you were giving the khutbah, suddenly you cried out,"Sariyah, the mountain!" What sort of thing is this?'
He said, 'By Allah, I could not control it. I saw them fighting near a mountain and they were being attacked from in front of them and from behind them. I could not stop myself from saying, "Sariyah, the mountain!" so that they would reach the mountain.' Then they waited some time until Sariyah's messenger came with his letter, 'The people met us (in battle) on the day of jumu'ah, and we fought them until, when it was time for jumu'ah, we heard someone cry out,"Sariyah, the mountain!" twice, so we reached the mountain. We continued victorious over our enemy until Allah defeated them and killed them.' Then those people who had accused him said, 'Leave this man alone, because he is in collusion with him.'
