▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
Ahle sunnah wal jammat
differentiates between knowledge of
unseen into different categories
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
,
* 'Zaati & Atahi' {Personel & Bestowed}
* 'Qulli & Baaz' {Total & Partial}
* Ilm e Ghayb e Zaati - {Personel Knowledge Of Ghayb} Is of Allah subhana wa tallah alone, It is He who as the knowledge of Ghayb by his own self, and no one has taught Him, revealed to Him, shown Him, Allah suhana watallah knows Ghayb by Himself.
,
* Ilm e Ghayb e Atahi - {Bestowed Knowledge Of Ghayb} Is of RasoolAllah {SAW}, he was given this knowledge by Allah, he himself did not knew it, but Allah tallah bestowed the knowledge of Ghayb on him.
,
* Ilm e Ghayb e Qulli - {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.
,
* Ilm e Ghayb e Baaz - {Partial Knowledge Of Ghayb} Is of RasoolAllah {SAW}, Allah tallah gave limited, partial, some, knowledge of Ghayb to RasoolAllah {SAW}. What ever Ghayb RasoolAllah {SAW} knows, revealed, prophecised, is in the category of 'Partial'. For no creation of Allah can know as much as Allah, not RasoolAllah {SAW}not even Al Lawh Al Mafooz
,
**************************
,
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 the universe, 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
The Holy Quran has mentioned Ilm-e-Ghayb in several verses and has declared that this Knowledge is one of the Attributes of Allah
"Say thou, (O Muhammad)! The Knowledge of Unseen belongeth unto Allah alone." (Surah Yunus, 10:20)
,
And with Him is the key of unseen, He only knows them And He knows whatever is in the land and in the sea. And the leaf that falls He knows it. And there is not any grain in the darkness of the earth, and nor anything wet and nor dry which is not written in a luminous Book(quran 6:59)
,
He "said, "O Adam tell them the names of all shines, when Adam had informed them of the names of all, He told, had I not told you that I know all the hidden things of the beavers and earth, and I know whatever you disclose and whatever you hide.(Surah Baqarah, 2:33)
,
Say you, 'who provides you from the heaven and the earth: or who is the master of ear and eyes: and who brings out the living from the dead and brings out the dead from the living and who plans all affairs? They will then now say, 'Allah then say you, 'why do not you fear then?'(Surah Hud, 10:31.)
,
above.. verses indicate that the Knowledge of Unseen belongs to Allah Ta'ala Alone. Nobody on his own has this knowledge nor can anybody possess this Divine Treasure. However, these verses have nowhere indicated Allah Ta'ala to say that He does not grant this Knowledge of Unseen to anybody
hope this point is very clear to every one
^^^
Thios is Qulli knowledge of Allah only belongs to Allah but
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
Proofs from Quran that Allah
grants knowledge of unseen to Prophets (as)
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
Allah Ta'ala says in quran
"Allah Alone is the Knower of the Unseen. He never grants the Knowledge of his Ghayb to anyone but to His chosen Messengers and appoints guard before them and behind them." ((Surah Jinn, 72:26-27).
And Allah the Exalted taught the names of all things to Adam. Then presenting all shines before the Angels said,"Tell the names of these, if you are truthful."(quran 2:31)
,
Then they routed them by the Command of Allah and Daud slew Jalut and Allah gave him Kingdom and wisdom and taught him what He pleased. And if Allah would not repel some of them by some others among people, then necessarily the earth, would have been ruined, but Allah is Munificent to entire, world. (quran 2:251)
,
And Sulaiman became the successor of Daud and said, O people, 'We have been taught the language of birds, and we have been bestowed of everything. Undoubtedly, this indeed is a manifest grace.(quran 27:16)
And to Lut, We gave government and knowledge and delivered him from that town which had been working foul deeds; undoubtedly those evil people were disobedient(quran 21:74)
And when they entered after the manner their father had commanded, it could not save them against Allah, yes there was a desire in the heart of Yaqub which he fulfilled. And verily, he is the man of knowledge by Our teaching, but most men know not. (Surah Yusuf, 12:68
Then when the bearer of lad-tidings came' he laid that shirt on the face of Yaqub, forthwith his sight came back. He said, 'did I not say to you hat I know those glories of Allah which you know not.(quran 12:96)
,
And when he reached his grown up age and attained his full strength, We bestowed him judgement and knowledge.And thus We reward the good doers.(quran 28:14)
,
hence it is proved that all PROPHET A.S had knowledge of unseen...
The Knowledge of Unseen was also given to the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). This was his biggest miracle. The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was granted the knowledge equivalent to the knowledge which was given to 124 000 or more Prophets.
The Quran say:
"And, O Beloved (Prophet)! If there had not been the Grace and Mercy of Allah upon you, then some people of them had wished to defraud you. And they are misleading themselves only and they will not hurt you in anything. And Allah has sent down to you the Book of Wisdom and has taught you what you did not know and great is the Grace of Allah upon you." (Surah Nisa 4:113)
,
This verse proves that not a single thing in both worlds is left excluded from the knowledge of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).
,
The word "Great Grace" verifies this fact. The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was taught by Allah Ta'ala.
,
The Holy Quran say:
,
"These are the tidings of Unseen that We reveal to you in secret. And you were not with them when they drew lots with their pen that under those guardianship Maryam should be given and you were not with then when they were disputing."(Surah Ale Imraan, 3:44)
,
In this verse, the Holy Quran gives the reason of mentioning the
episodes of the past Prophets. Allah Ta'ala says: O Beloved One!
These episodes are not mentioned as mere tales of the past. We have
mentioned these events to prove your Prophethood. The Knowledge of
Unseen will become the testimony of your special status as the
Apostle of Allah Ta'ala. O Prophet! These is among those events of
which the accurate records are now obliterated altogether, and there
is no means of knowing in full and exact details except by
Revelation.
the phrase "tidings of the Unseen" indicate that Allah Ta'ala has given the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) the knowledge of those things, which happened long before him or to happen in the distant future.
,
The Holy Quran, which was revealed to Hazrat Muhammad (saw) contained everything that he would need in religion and in world affairs as well. The Holy Quran says that Allah Ta'ala taught His Beloved the Quran. He created Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) the soul of the Mankind and taught him the knowledge of the past and the present.
The Holy Quran says:
,
"And taught you that which you knew not. And this is a great favour of Allah Ta'ala upon you."
,
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
Tafsir ee jalayn says
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
says Allah Ta'ala taught His Apostle
(sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) the commandments and the Unseen.
,
Tafseer-e-Jalalain says that Allah Ta'ala taught the Holy Prophet
(sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) the Shari'ah Laws and the religion,
and taught him the Unseen, which he knew not, and gave him the
knowledge of that which was hidden in the human mind, and disclosed
to him the evil doings of the Hypocrites.
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
Tafseer-e-Kabir
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
observes that Allah Ta'ala revealed to Hazrat
Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) the Holy Quran, and the
knowledge, and taught him the Divine Secrets, and implications.
,
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
Tafseer-e-Hussaini Bahrul
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
,
Haqaeq says that the above verse refers to the absolute knowledge of all Unseen which Allah Ta'ala granted to Hazrat Muhammad (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) during the Me'raj.
The Hadith of Me'raj
reports the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) as saying:
"I was beneath the Arsh when Allah put a drop into my throat and (with that) I attained the knowledge of the past and the future."
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
Quran Has knowledge of Every thing
and Prophet (saw) was taught complete Quran
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
,
Commentators observe that Allah Ta'ala has created
Lauh-e-Mahfooz, a Tablet on which the Destinies of the world since
it's creation are written. It contains the Knowledge of all possible
things. The knowledge of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam) encompasses the Lauh. The Holy Quran contains whatever is
written in the Lauh and since the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam) has been taught the Quran, he has the Knowledge of the
Lauh-e-Mahfooz.
Allah Ta'ala showed Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam) all His creatures in person and made him learn the things by their names. Allah Ta'ala taught him the names of those who would be in his generation and also taught him all the languages.Allah Ta'ala also taught him the Names of Angels and all human beings who would belong to his generation, and the names of animals and vegetation, and taught him to manufacture things, and taught him the names of the cities and towns, and trees, and the names of those whom He will create until Doomsday, and taught him the names of all the gifts in Paradise
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
Unseen knowledge is granted to
Prophet (Saw) directly without Wahi and
through Wahi both
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
The fact that Allah Ta'ala has granted Hazrat Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) the Knowledge of Unseen, can be explained in three dimensions:
1. Firstly, he was given the Knowledge of the Unseen directly:
Surah Hud, 11:49 - "These tidings of Unseen, We reveal to you. Neither you did know nor your people before this. Then be patient. No doubt there is good for the duty-bound." [
See also Surah Yusuf, 12:102; Surah Takvir, 81:24.
He was given the Quran, which is the treasure house of the Knowledge of the Unseen: "O People of the Book! Undoubtedly, Our Messenger has come to you who makes clear to you much of that which you had hidden in the Book and pardons much. Undoubtedly, there has come to you from Allah a Light and a Book Luminous." (Surah Maidah, 5:15)
for more proofs see also See also Surah Nahl, 16:89; Surah Yusuf, 12:111; Surah An'am, 6:38; Surah Naml, 27:75; Surah An'am, 6:59.
He was sent as a witness.
A witness can only be that person who is present at the place and time of happening and sees everything by himself.
"Surely we have sent you as a witness (present and seeing) and a bearer of Glad Tidings and a Warner." (Surah Fath, 48:8)
See also Surah Nisa, 4:41; Surah Muzzammil, 73:15. These verses prove that Hazrat Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) will stand witness on the Day of Judgement. He will not only bear witness for his own Ummah but also for the Ummah of other Prophets.

above proofs answer
claims of author of Taqwiyat al-Iman
That why Prophet (saw) Said He don't know
knowledge of unseen
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
The above two quatrains put to rest the odd claim of the author of Taqwiyat al-Iman that the Prophet did not know what would happen on the next day on the grounds that he said, "Avoid saying this" to the slave-girl reciting poetry when she said, "Among us is a Prophet that knows what happens tomorrow.
,
►Narrated from al-Rubayyi` bint Mu`awwidh in al-Bukhari, the Sunan, and Ah.mad
,
The reason for this order is not because he did not know - since it is established that Allah (swt) is {the knower of the Unseen, and He reveals unto none His secret save unto every messenger whom He has chosen} (Quran 72:26-27) and that He revealed to the Prophet knowledge of the future until the Day of Judgment and much of the Hereafter as well - but because knowledge of the unseen was attributed to him in absolute terms when only Allah knows the unseen in absolute terms.
,
►As stated by Ibn H.ajar in his commentary of this narration in Fath. al-Bari
,
Such an assertion was reminiscent of the popular belief unbecoming of a Prophet but typical of the false claims of seers, oracles, astrologers etc. that they could, of their own devices, know the future, to which Allah (swt) said(No soul knoweth what it will earn tomorrow) (Quran 31:34) Hence, the Prophet , in one version, added by way of explanation, "Only Allah knows what happens tomorrow" i.e. independently of anyone and with an absolute knowledge.

Seeing this, the Messenger of Allâh said: 'I swear by Allâh that the sun shall not set before Allâh first brings you some sustenance.' `Uthmân understood that Allâh and His Prophet would most certainly be confirmed, so he bought fourteen mounts loaded with food and conveyed nine of them to the Prophet . The signs of joy could be seen on the faces of the Muslims and those of sadness on the faces of the hypocrites. I saw the Prophet raising his hands until one could see the whiteness of his arm-pits, supplicating on behalf of `Uthmân with a supplication I never heard him say for anyone before him

Al-Bayhaqî narrated from `Urwa that when the Prophet alighted at Hudaybiyya he sent `Uthmân to the Quraysh saying, "Tell them that we have not come to fight but only for the Minor Pilgrimage and invite them to Islâm." He also ordered him to visit all the male and female believers of Makka and give them the glad tidings of impending victory and to tell them of the near appearance of his Religion in Makka, if Allâh wills so that the faith should no longer be derided there. He went to see the Quraysh and told them this but they refused and declared that they would fight. Then the Messenger of Allâh summoned people to pledge their loyalty, whereupon someone called out: "Lo! Truly the Holy Spirit has descended upon the Messenger of Allâh" Then the Muslims pledged to him that they would never desert him. Allâh frightened the idolaters with this event so they released all the Muslims they had previously held and asked for a truce and treaty. The Muslims said, while at Hudaybiyya and before `Uthmân got back, that the latter had reached the Ka`ba and circumambulated it The Prophet said: "I do not think that he circumambulated it while we are under siege." When `Uthmân returned they told him, "You circumambulated the House." He replied, "Perish your thought! By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, even if I had taken up residence there for one year with the Messenger of Allâh at Hudaybiyya, I would not have circumambulated it until the Messenger of Allâh did. The Quraysh invited me to circumambulate it but I refused." The Muslims said, "The Messenger of Allâh is truly the most knowing of Allâh among us and the one with the best opinion.

He remained caliph for about seven months in Iraq, Khurasân, and Transoxiana, after which Mu`âwiya marched against him. When the two armies met near al-Anbâr, al-Hasan realized that eventual fighting would wipe out a great number of the Muslims and so did Mu`âwiya. A group of people sued for peace among the two and they reached an agreement. Thus did Allâh stem the blood of the Muslims and thus did Allâh bring to pass the saying of His Prophet : "This son of mine is a leader of men and Allâh shall use him to reconcile etc.

From Nass of Quran
[this tafsir is researched by brother aamir]
And Allah has revealed to you the Book and the wisdom, and He has taught you what you did not know( وَأَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَعَلَّمَكَ مَا لَمْ تَكُنْ تَعْلَمُ) and Allah's grace on you is very great..(4:113)
وَعَلَّمَكَ مَا لَمْ تَكُنْ تَعْلَم [i.e. And taught thee what thou Knewest not (before)] is explained by Overwhelming Mufasireen as:
Everything Illuminated to Prophet [Sahih Hadith]
Mufasir # 1
--Imam Ismail al Hiqqi (rah) in Ruh ul Bayan explains it as—
وعلمك} بالوحى من الغيب وخفيات الامور { ما لم تكن تعلم } ذلك الى وقت التعليم}
Translation: {Taught you} Through Wahi Allah taught him the Ghayb and hidden matters (من الغيب وخفيات ) and {Knew not before} is till that time when ALLAH had not taught him
So those who accuse Prophet (saw) of not knowing something is till the time when ALLAH had not taught him (after which he knew of it all as explained in many ahadith that ALLAH granted him the keys to all treasures of world, illumination of everything came to him and he recognised everything etc…) as this following hadith clearly tells:
اسْتَثْقَلْتُ فإِذَا أَنَا بِرَبِّي تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالى في أَحْسَنِ صُورَةٍ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ، قُلْتُ لَبَيَّكَ رَبِّ، قالَ فِيمَ يَخْتَصِمُ المَلأُ الأَعْلَى؟ قُلْتُ: لاَ أَدْرِي رَبِّ قَالَهَا ثَلاَثاً، قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُهُ وَضَعَ كَفَّهُ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيَّ. قَدْ وَجَدْتُ بَرْدَ أَنَامِلِهِ بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيَّ فتجَلَّى لِي كُلُّ شَيْءٍ وَعَرَفْتُ
Translation: The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: 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: I don’t know, Then I saw Him put his palms between my shoulder blades till I felt the coldness of his fingersbetween the two sides of my chest. THEN EVERYTHING WAS ILLUMINATED TO ME AND I RECOGNIZED EVERYTHING! [Transmitted by Imam Tirmidhi who said: This is a hasan sahih hadith and I asked Muhammad ibn Isma'il about this hadith and he said: It is a Hassan Sahih hadith. (Sunnan Tirimdhi, Volume No. 5, Page No. 368-369, Tafsir Surah S'ad, Hadith No. 3235)]
The Prophet was taught Quran which has all Uloom
Mufasir # 2
--Imam Khazin (rah) explains it as –
وعلمك ما لم تكن تعلم } يعني من أحكام الشرع وأمور الدين وقيل علمك من علم الغيب ما لم تكن تعلم وقيل معناه وعلمك من خفيات الأمور وأطلعك على ضمائر القلوب وعلمك من أحوال المنافقين وكيدهم ما لم تكن تعلم
Translation: {And taught thee what thou Knewest not (before)} meaning the Ahkaam (rulings) of Shariah and Amoor of Deen and Its said that he was taught Ilm ul Ghayb which he did not know so now has been taught to him (من علم الغيب ما لم تكن تعلم) and its also said that ALLAH taught you what was in hearts and taught you ahwaal and clever tricks of Munafiqeen which you did not know
Mufasir # 3
--Imam Jalal ud din Suyuti (rah) explains it as—
وَعَلَّمَكَ مَا لَمْ تَكُنْ تَعْلَمُ } من الأحكام والغيب
Translation:{And taught thee what thou Knewest not (before)} Of Ahkaam and Ghayb !!
Mufasir # 4
--Imam Baghwi (rah) explains it as: --
من الأحكام، وقيل: من علم الغيب،
Translation: { And taught thee what thou Knewest not (before)}It is Rulings and It is Ilm ul Ghayb !!
Mufasireen have explained in detail that ALLAH taught Prophet (saw) What he knew not (before i.e. Ghayb), whereas the Dalil is also there in ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ i.e. the Book (Quran) and Hikmah, let’s see how
Quran being best Tafsir of Quran itself says: One day We shall raise from all Peoples a witness against them, from amongst themselves: and We shall bring thee as a witness against these (thy people):and We have sent down to thee the Book explaining all things,(KA AL- KITAAB TIBYAAN(AN) LI- KULL SHAY) a Guide, a Mercy, and Glad Tidings to Muslims. (16:89)
So Quran being taught to Prophet (Peace be upon him) means that he has been taught "everything"
Quran states at another place:
:وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ
Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen.(81:24)
Prophet teaches Ghayb in abundance, says the Quran
The above verse proves that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) is not Bukheel in giving the knowledge of unseen
Let’s see how
--Imam Baidawi (rah) explains this ayah as: --
وَمَا هُوَ } وما محمد عليه الصلاة والسلام. { عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ } على ما يخبره من الموحى إليه وغيره من الغيوب.
And Muhammad (alaihas salato salam) { عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ } is not Bukheel in teaching Ghuyub which he knows through revelation and other means(إليه وغيره)
بِضَنِينٍ } بالضاد من الضن وهو البخل أي لا يبخل بالتبليغ والتعليم
Bidhaneen has ‘’Dhuad’’ and It contains the meaning of Bukhl which means he is not Bukheel in Tabligh and Teaching (of Ghayb)
Just incase if someone doubts whether Quran holds everything or not, let me clarify from Quran itself:
Quran states: There is not an animal (that lives) on the earth, nor a being that flies on its wings, but (forms part of) communities like you. Nothing have we omitted from the Book,and they (all) shall be gathered to their Lord in the end.(6:38)
So the Quran was taught fully to the Prophet and nothing has been omitted from teaching him
Now from Hadiths of Sahih bukhari and Sahih muslm alone
Hadith # 1
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 10, Number 515:
"Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Apostle came out as the sun declined at mid-day and offered the Zuhr prayer. He then stood on the pulpit and spoke about the Hour (Day of Judgment) and said that in it there would be tremendous things. He then said, "Whoever likes to ask me about anything he can do so and I shall reply as long as I am at this place of mine.Most of the people wept and the Prophet said repeatedly, "Ask me." Abdullah bin Hudhafa As-Sahmi stood up and said, "Who is my father?" The Prophet said, "Your father is The Prophet repeatedly said, "Ask me." Then Umar knelt before him and said, "We are pleased with Allah as our Lord, Islam as our religion, and Muhammad as our Prophet." The Prophet then became quiet and said, "Paradise and Hell-fire were displayed in front of me on this wall just now and I have never seen a better thing (than the former) and a worse thing (than the latter)."
Hadith # 2
Sahih Al Bukhari, Book 3, Number 115:
"Narrated Um Salama: One night Allah's Apostle got up and said, "Subhan Allah! How many afflictions have been descended tonight and how many treasures have been disclosed! Go and wake the sleeping lady occupants of these dwellings (his wives) up (for prayers). A well-dressed (soul) in this world may be naked in the Hereafter."
Hadith # 3
Sahih Al Bukhari, Book 23, Number 428:
"Narrated 'Uqba bin 'Amir: One day the Prophet went out and offered the funeral prayers of the martyrs of Uhud and then went up the pulpit and said, "I will pave the way for you as your predecessor and will be a witness on you. By Allah! I see my Fount (Kauthar) just now and I have been given the keys of all the treasures of the earth (or the keys of the earth). By Allah! I am not afraid that you will worship others along with Allah after my death, but I am afraid that you will fight with one another for the worldly things."
Hadith # 4
Sahih Al Bukhari, Book 59, Number 411:
"Narrated Uqba: One day the Prophet went out and offered the (funeral) prayer for the people (i.e. martyrs) of Uhud as he used to offer a funeral prayer for any dead person, and then (after returning) he ascended the pulpit and said, "I am your predecessor before you, and I am a witness upon you, and I am looking at my Tank just now, and I have been given the keys of the treasures of the world (or the keys of the world). By Allah, I am not afraid that you will worship others besides Allah after me, but I am afraid that you will compete with each other for (the pleasures of) this world."
Hadith # 5
Sahih Muslim, Book 030, Number 5825: "
Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) stood when the sun had passed the meridian and he led them noon prayer and after observing salutations (completing the prayer) he stood upon the pulpit and talked about the Last Hour and made a mention of the important facts prior to it and then said: He who desires to ask anything from me let him ask me about it. By Allah, I shall not move from this place so long as I do not inform you about that which you ask.
Hadith # 6
Sahih Al Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 22, Number 303:
"Narrated 'Aisha: Once the sun eclipsed and Allah's Apostle stood up for the prayer and recited a very long Sura and when bowed for a long while and then raised his head and started reciting another Sura. Then he bowed, and after finishing, he prostrated and did the same in the second Raka and then said, "These (lunar and solar eclipses) are two of the signs of Allah and if you see them, pray till the eclipse is over. No doubt, while standing at this place I saw EVERYTHING promised to me by Allah and I saw (Paradise) and I wanted to pluck a bunch (of grapes) therefrom, at the time when you saw me stepping forward. No doubt, I saw Hell with its different parts destroying each other when you saw me retreating and in it I saw 'Amr bin Luhai who started the tradition of freeing animals (set them free) in the name of idols."
Hadith # 7

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.

Mufasir # 2
--Imam Khazin (rah) explains it as –
وعلمك ما لم تكن تعلم } يعني من أحكام الشرع وأمور الدين وقيل علمك من علم الغيب ما لم تكن تعلم وقيل معناه وعلمك من خفيات الأمور وأطلعك على ضمائر القلوب وعلمك من أحوال المنافقين وكيدهم ما لم تكن تعلم
Translation: {And taught thee what thou Knewest not (before)} meaning the Ahkaam (rulings) of Shariah and Amoor of Deen and Its said that he was taught Ilm ul Ghayb which he did not know so now has been taught to him (من علم الغيب ما لم تكن تعلم) and its also said that ALLAH taught you what was in hearts and taught you ahwaal and clever tricks of Munafiqeen which you did not know
Mufasir # 3
--Imam Jalal ud din Suyuti (rah) explains it as—
وَعَلَّمَكَ مَا لَمْ تَكُنْ تَعْلَمُ } من الأحكام والغيب
Translation:{And taught thee what thou Knewest not (before)} Of Ahkaam and Ghayb !!
Mufasir # 4
--Imam Baghwi (rah) explains it as: --
من الأحكام، وقيل: من علم الغيب،
Translation: { And taught thee what thou Knewest not (before)}It is Rulings and It is Ilm ul Ghayb !!
Mufasireen have explained in detail that ALLAH taught Prophet (saw) What he knew not (before i.e. Ghayb), whereas the Dalil is also there in ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ i.e. the Book (Quran) and Hikmah, let’s see how
Quran being best Tafsir of Quran itself says: One day We shall raise from all Peoples a witness against them, from amongst themselves: and We shall bring thee as a witness against these (thy people):and We have sent down to thee the Book explaining all things,(KA AL- KITAAB TIBYAAN(AN) LI- KULL SHAY) a Guide, a Mercy, and Glad Tidings to Muslims. (16:89)
So Quran being taught to Prophet (Peace be upon him) means that he has been taught "everything"
Quran states at another place:
:وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ
Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen.(81:24)
Prophet teaches Ghayb in abundance, says the Quran
The above verse proves that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) is not Bukheel in giving the knowledge of unseen
Let’s see how
--Imam Baidawi (rah) explains this ayah as: --
وَمَا هُوَ } وما محمد عليه الصلاة والسلام. { عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ } على ما يخبره من الموحى إليه وغيره من الغيوب.
And Muhammad (alaihas salato salam) { عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ } is not Bukheel in teaching Ghuyub which he knows through revelation and other means(إليه وغيره)
بِضَنِينٍ } بالضاد من الضن وهو البخل أي لا يبخل بالتبليغ والتعليم
Bidhaneen has ‘’Dhuad’’ and It contains the meaning of Bukhl which means he is not Bukheel in Tabligh and Teaching (of Ghayb)
Just incase if someone doubts whether Quran holds everything or not, let me clarify from Quran itself:
Quran states: There is not an animal (that lives) on the earth, nor a being that flies on its wings, but (forms part of) communities like you. Nothing have we omitted from the Book,and they (all) shall be gathered to their Lord in the end.(6:38)
So the Quran was taught fully to the Prophet and nothing has been omitted from teaching him
Now from Hadiths of Sahih bukhari and Sahih muslm alone
Hadith # 1
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 10, Number 515:
"Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Apostle came out as the sun declined at mid-day and offered the Zuhr prayer. He then stood on the pulpit and spoke about the Hour (Day of Judgment) and said that in it there would be tremendous things. He then said, "Whoever likes to ask me about anything he can do so and I shall reply as long as I am at this place of mine.Most of the people wept and the Prophet said repeatedly, "Ask me." Abdullah bin Hudhafa As-Sahmi stood up and said, "Who is my father?" The Prophet said, "Your father is The Prophet repeatedly said, "Ask me." Then Umar knelt before him and said, "We are pleased with Allah as our Lord, Islam as our religion, and Muhammad as our Prophet." The Prophet then became quiet and said, "Paradise and Hell-fire were displayed in front of me on this wall just now and I have never seen a better thing (than the former) and a worse thing (than the latter)."
Hadith # 2
Sahih Al Bukhari, Book 3, Number 115:
"Narrated Um Salama: One night Allah's Apostle got up and said, "Subhan Allah! How many afflictions have been descended tonight and how many treasures have been disclosed! Go and wake the sleeping lady occupants of these dwellings (his wives) up (for prayers). A well-dressed (soul) in this world may be naked in the Hereafter."
Hadith # 3
Sahih Al Bukhari, Book 23, Number 428:
"Narrated 'Uqba bin 'Amir: One day the Prophet went out and offered the funeral prayers of the martyrs of Uhud and then went up the pulpit and said, "I will pave the way for you as your predecessor and will be a witness on you. By Allah! I see my Fount (Kauthar) just now and I have been given the keys of all the treasures of the earth (or the keys of the earth). By Allah! I am not afraid that you will worship others along with Allah after my death, but I am afraid that you will fight with one another for the worldly things."
Hadith # 4
Sahih Al Bukhari, Book 59, Number 411:
"Narrated Uqba: One day the Prophet went out and offered the (funeral) prayer for the people (i.e. martyrs) of Uhud as he used to offer a funeral prayer for any dead person, and then (after returning) he ascended the pulpit and said, "I am your predecessor before you, and I am a witness upon you, and I am looking at my Tank just now, and I have been given the keys of the treasures of the world (or the keys of the world). By Allah, I am not afraid that you will worship others besides Allah after me, but I am afraid that you will compete with each other for (the pleasures of) this world."
Hadith # 5
Sahih Muslim, Book 030, Number 5825: "
Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) stood when the sun had passed the meridian and he led them noon prayer and after observing salutations (completing the prayer) he stood upon the pulpit and talked about the Last Hour and made a mention of the important facts prior to it and then said: He who desires to ask anything from me let him ask me about it. By Allah, I shall not move from this place so long as I do not inform you about that which you ask.
Hadith # 6
Sahih Al Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 22, Number 303:
"Narrated 'Aisha: Once the sun eclipsed and Allah's Apostle stood up for the prayer and recited a very long Sura and when bowed for a long while and then raised his head and started reciting another Sura. Then he bowed, and after finishing, he prostrated and did the same in the second Raka and then said, "These (lunar and solar eclipses) are two of the signs of Allah and if you see them, pray till the eclipse is over. No doubt, while standing at this place I saw EVERYTHING promised to me by Allah and I saw (Paradise) and I wanted to pluck a bunch (of grapes) therefrom, at the time when you saw me stepping forward. No doubt, I saw Hell with its different parts destroying each other when you saw me retreating and in it I saw 'Amr bin Luhai who started the tradition of freeing animals (set them free) in the name of idols."

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.
►Transmitted by Ahmad, Tirmidhi who said: This is a "Hasan Sahih" hadith and I asked Muhammad ibn Isma'il (i.e. Imam Bukhari) about this hadith and he said: It is a"Hassan Sahih" hadith. (Sunnan Tirimdhi, Volume No. 5, Page No. 368-369, Tafsir Surah S'ad, Hadith No. 3235)

Allah's Apostle said, "Among the nations before you there used to be people who were inspired (though they were not prophets). And if there is any of such a persons amongst my followers, it is 'Umar."

Even Hadrat Khizar [aleh islam] had unseen without any angel
knowledge according to Quran

Quran says
,
Then they found one of Our slaves, unto whom We had bestowed mercy from Us, and whom We had taught knowledge from Us.
Mûsa (Moses) said to him (Khidr) "May I follow you so that you teach me something of that knowledge (guidance and true path) which you have been taught (by Allâh)?"
He (Khidr) said: "Verily! You will not be able to have patience with me!

He knews about the future too and told it to Musa [aleh islam]

Even Muslims get Ilhams [inspirtations ] from Allah and its proved from Sahih bukhari

A'isha reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:
There had been among the people before you inspired persons and if there were any such among my Umma Umar b. Khattab would be one of them. Ibn Wahb explained the word Muhaddathun as those who receive hint from the High (Mulhamun).
Objection: Why did Prophet [salehalawaalihi wasalam] Asked Questions to Sahabas [ra] if He didn't knew unseen
Reply to Wahabis [salafis], ghair muqalids
Look this ayath
"And what is that in your right hand, O Musa (Moses)?"
( سورة طه , Taha, Chapter #20, Verse #17)
,
Allah has knowledge of everything.....but in this ayath,Allah Ta'Ala is questioning Prophet Musa A.S?why?--------[May Allah forgive me,ameen]
,
Allah asked Shatan [devil ] a question
blue]
And surely, We created you (your father Adam) and then gave you shape (the noble shape of a human being), then We told the angels, "Prostrate to Adam", and they prostrated, except Iblîs (Satan), he refused to be of those who prostrate.
,
(Allâh) said: "What prevented you (O Iblîs) that you did not prostrate, when I commanded you?" Iblîs said: "I am better than him (Adam), You created me from fire, and him You created from clay."
[Quran 7: 11-12]
,
So according to same logic and Hikmah which Allah [swt] used will any one say that Allah [swt] didn't actually knew about Shatan motives or what was in his heart , Naoozbila min zalik . But was to teach normal muslims through Quran
,
,
Allah talks to Prophets [a.s] without Angels too
Quran says
,
So when he reached it (the fire), he was called from the right side of the valley, in the blessed place from the tree: "O Mûsa (Moses)! Verily! I am Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn[ Quran 28:30 ]
,
No angel was involved When Allah used to talk to Hadrat Musa [aleh islam]
,
So Allah also reveals directly to the Prophets [aleh islam] and gives them unseen knowledge directly
,
How much knowledge Prophet [salehalawaalihi wasalam ] has ?
This universe itself has a limit and Allah's knowledge is not equal to any body. But the knowledge of our beloeved Prophet [salehalawaalihi wasalam] which was given to Him [salehalawaalihi wasalam] By Allah [swt] is most among the creations and He [salehalawaalihi wasalam] knows every thing about the universe . But for creations universe may be unlimited but for Allah [swt] universe is limit too as He is the creator.
,
So when it comes to creations Allah has given Prophet [salehalawaalihi wasalam] knowledge about every thing which no other creation is close to. But it is not equal to that of Allah [swt].
Objection:
Quran says: Say (O Muhammad, to the disbelievers): I say not unto you (that) I possess the treasures of Allah, nor that I have knowledge of the Unseen; and I say not unto you: Lo! I am an angel. I follow only that which is inspired in me. Say: Are the blind man and the seer equal? Will ye not then take thought?...[ 6: 50 ]
So Prophet [salehalawaalihi wasalam ] didn't know the unseen

(1) In this verse Allah says the Prophet [salehalawaalihi wasalam] to say it in humbleness Allah doesn't asks Muslims to say it , if a Father says some thing bad to his wife its valid or not a ghuna e kabira , but if a Child says the same its Ghuna e kabira is this so hard for wahabis to understand ?
(2) This can also refer to Qulli knowledge of unseen which only Allah has it has been explained above very well.
Otherwise the wahabi approach is contradictory and makes Quran and hadith a contradiction. Ahlus sunnah Aqeeda is based on logical explanation of Quran and hadiths both where no contradiction or kufr aqeeda is possible where Quran is proved wrong.

by knowledge of tomorrow it means about when will day of judgement occur , IF Allah alone has this knowledge its fine with ahlus sunnah as its Qulli knowledge however Allah knows best if He has given a share of this knowledge of Prophet [salehalawwaalihi wasalam] or not,
As Allah says in glorious Quran
,
Allah will not leave the believers in the state in which ye are now, until He separates what is evil from what is goodnor will He disclose to you the secrets of the Unseen.

Muslim narrated from `Amr ibn Akhtab [Abu Zayd] al-Ansari radyAllahu `anh who said: "The Prophet prayed fajr with us then climbed the pulpit and addressed us until the time came for zuhr, then he descended and prayed. Then he climbed the pulpit and addressed us until the time came for `asr, whereupon he descended and prayed. Then he climbed the pulpit and addressed us until the sun set. He informed us about all that was to happen until the Day of Resurrection. The most knowledgeable of us is he who has memorized the most.

Ibn Taimiyah foresaw a Muslim victory in a future battle
Madarij al-Salekin, Volume 2 page 489:
ثم أخبر الناس والأمراء سنة اثنتين وسبعمائة لما تحرك التتار وقصدوا الشام : أن الدائرة والهزيمة عليهم وأن الظفر والنصر للمسلمين وأقسم على ذلك أكثر من سبعين يمينا فيقال له : قل إن شاء الله فيقول : إن شاء الله تحقيقا لا تعليقا وسمعته يقول ذلك قال : فلما أكثروا علي قلت : لا تكثروا كتب الله تعالى في اللوح المحفوظ : أنهم مهزومون في هذه الكرة وأن النصر لجيوش الإسلام.,
Then he told the people and the commanders in year 702 when the Tatars marched towards Shaam: that they (the Tatars) will be defeated and the victory will be for the Muslims. He gave seventy oaths on that.
They (the people) said to him: ‘Say inshallah.’
He replied: ‘Inshallah for sure, no comments.’
I heard him saying that when they (the people) insisted on him, he replied: ‘Do not insist, verily Allah wrote it in the Guarded Tablet that they (the Tatars) shall be defeated in this battle and the victory will be for Muslims’
Ibn Taimiyah unlocked people’s hidden objectives
We read in Madarij al-Salekin by ibn Qayim, Volume 2 page 490:
وأخبرني غير مرة بأمور باطنة تختص بي مما عزمت عليه ولم ينطق به لساني
On more than one occasion, he told me about internal things regarding me from the things that I wanted to do but my tongue didn’t mention them.
We read in Al-Alaam al-Alya by Umar bin Ali bin Musa al-Bazar, page 57:

وكنت في خلال الايام التي صحبته فيها إذا بحث مسأله يحضر لي إيراد فما يستتم خاطري به حتى يشرع فيورده ويذكر الجواب.
During the days when I was in his company, whenever he began to discuss an issue, and a question came to my mind, before I raised it, he would answer it.

وحدثني الشيخ الصالح المقريء أحمد بن الحريمي أنه سافر الى دمشق قال فاتفق اني لما قدمتها لم يكن معي شئ من النفقة البتة وانا لا اعرف احدا من أهلها فجعلت أمشي في زقاق منها كالحائر فإذا بشيخ قد أقبل نحوي مسرعا فسلم وهش في وجهي ووضع في يدي صرة فيها دراهم صالحة وقال لي انفق هذه الآن وخلي خاطرك مما انت فيه فإن الله لا يضيعك ثم رد على أثره كأنه ما جاء إلا من أجلي فدعوت له وفرحت بذلك وقلت لبعض من رأيته من الناس من هذا الشيخ فقال وكأنك لا تعرفه هذا ابن تيمية
The pious Sheikh Ahmad al-Herimi told me that he traveled to Damascus and he said: ‘When I arrived, I didn’t have money to use and there wasn’t anyone there whom I knew. So I kept walking hesitantly through the streets. Then suddenly a Sheikh came towards me in a speedy manner. He smiled to me and placed a bag of money in my hand and said: ‘From now on, use it, and do not worry about anything, Allah will not let you.’ Then he went as if he had only came for me. Then I prayed for him and felt happy. Then I asked about the Sheikh with whom I had met on my way. They replied: ‘You don’t know him?’ He is Ibn Taimiyah.’

وحدثني الشيخ العالم المقريء تقي الدين عبدالله ابن الشيخ الصالح المقريء احمد بن سعيد قال سافرت إلى مصر حين كان الشيخ مقيما بها فاتفق أني قدمتها ليلا وأنا مثقل مريض فأنزلت في بعض الامكنة فلم ألبث أن سمعت من ينادي باسمي وكنيتي فاجبته وأنا ضعيف فدخل إلي جماعة من أصحاب الشيخ ممن كنت قد اجتمعت ببعضهم في دمشق فقلت كيف عرفتم بقدومي وأنا قدمت هذه الساعة فذكروا أن الشيخ أخبرنا بأنك قدمت وأنت مريض وأمرنا ان نسرع بنقلك وما رأينا أحدا جاء ولا أخبرنا بشيء
فعلمت أن ذلك من كرامات الشيخ رضي الله عنه
Sheikh Taqiuddin Abdullah son of Sheikh Ahmad bin Saeed said: ‘I traveled to Egypt when the Sheikh (Ibn Taimiyah) was residing there. I arrived there at night and I was very ill. Hence I visited some place. Then I heard a sound of someone calling me by my name and nickname. I answered, though I was feeling weak. Then a group belonging to the Sheikh (Ibn Taimiyah) that I had already met previously in Damascus entered. I said to them: ‘How do you know I arrived even though I arrived at this time?’ They replied: ‘The Sheikh (Ibn Taimiyah) told us that you arrived and you are ill and ordered us to transport you.’ Then I knew that this was a miracle from the Sheikh may Allah be pleased with him.

وحدثني أيضا قال أخبرني الشيخ ابن عماد الدين المقرئ المطرز قال قدمت على الشيخ ومعي حينئذ نفقة فسلمت عليه فرد علي ورحب بي وأدناني ولم يسألني هل معك نفقة ام لا فلما كان بعد أيام ونفدت نفقتي أردت أن اخرج من مجلسه بعد ان صليت مع الناس وراءه فمنعني وأجلسني دونهم فلما خلا المجلس دفع الي جملة دراهم وقال انت الآن بغير نفقة فارتفق بهذه فعجبت من ذلك
Sheikh ibn Emaaduddin al-Mutrez said: ‘I went to the Sheikh and I had limited money. I greeted him and he greeted me and welcomed me and didn’t ask me if I had money or not.’ After some days my money finished. Therefore I wanted to leave his class after praying with the people. But he held me back and when the people left he gave me some money and said: ‘You don’t have money. So use this.’ I wondered with regards to that.’

وحدثني الشيخ الصالح الورع عثمان بن احمد بن عيسى النساج أن الشيخ رضي الله عنه كان يعود المرضى بالبيمارستان بدمشق في كل اسبوع فجاء على عادته فعادهم فوصل الى شاب منهم فدعا له فشفي سريعا وجاء الى الشيخ يقصد السلام عليه فلما رآه هش له وأدناه ثم دفع اليه نفقة وقال قد شفاك الله فعاهد الله أن تعجل الرجوع الى بلدك أيجوز أن تترك زوجتك وبناتيك أربعا ضيعة وتقيم ها هنا فقبل يده وقال يا سيدي أنا تائب الى الله على يدك وقال الفتى وعجبت مما كاشفني به وكنت قد تركتهم بلا نفقة ولم يكن قد عرف بحالي أحد من أهل دمشق
Sheikh Uthman bin Ahmad bin Isa al-Nasaj said: ‘The Sheikh (ibn Taimiyah) was used to visit the ill people in a hospital in Damascus every week. Once he went to a young man and prayed for his quick recovery and he (the man) came to the Sheikh to greet him. When he (Ibn Taimiyah) saw him, he smiled for him and gave him some money and said: ‘Allah has cured you, so ask Allah to make you return to your homeland soon. Is it right to leave your wife and your daughter alone and residing there?’
Then he (the man) kissed his (Ibn Taimiyah) hands and said: ‘Oh sir, I repent before Allah through you.’ Then the man said: ‘I'm wondering from what he told me because I left them without money and no one knew about that amongst the people of Damascus’ End
