Bear in mind that knowing who shall die where is also from the Five Special Ghaibs (Uloome-Khamsa). Our Beloved Prophet however, is revealing this knowledge in the Battle of Badr.

17. "(A narration of Hadrat Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ states] A shepard exclaimed, "I have not seen a day like this. A wolf speaks!" To which the wolf replied, "Stranger than this is a person (referring to Sayyiduna Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) living in an oasis (Madina Sharif) between two plains who gives you messages of the past and future."z.los

18. Under the following ayat, “ما کان اللہ لیذر المومنین علی مآ انتم علیہ”2.106 Tafseer Khaazin reports the following,

"The Prophet has said, "My Ummah, with their appearances in moulds of clay, were placed before me just as how they were placed before Hndrat Adam علیہ السلام was informed of who will bring Imaan upon me and who will commit infidelity (kufr)." when news of this reached the Munaafiqs, they began to laugh and say, "Muhammad says that he was informed of people being kaafirs and mu'mins even before they were created, but we are with him and he doesn't recognize us." Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم stood up on the mimbar after he was informed of this, praised Allahعزوجل and said, "What is the condition of people who mock my knowledge? I shall inform and answer any question you ask me from now until Qiyaamat!" 2.107

Two points arise from this Hadith,

1. Slandering the knowledge of Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم is the habit of the Hypocrites (Munaafiqs).

2. The Noble Messengerصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم possesses knowledge of all occurrences until Qiyaamat.

19. "[Hadrat Ibn Mas'ood رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ narrates from the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) (Concerning those people who prepare to make jihad with Dajjal,) verily I know their names, the names of their fathers and I recognize the colours of their horses. They are the best riders on the face of the earth." 2.108

20. Sayyidah Aisha رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہا once asked the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم” Is there anyone whose good deeds are equal to the amount of stars?" He replied, "Yes, He is Umar رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ.

- Mishkaat, Baabu Manaaqibe-Abi Bakr رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ wa Umar رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ.

The above confirms that Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم is has complete information of all visible and secret deeds of all people until Qiyaamat. He also has detailed knowledge of clear and hidden stars whereas some stars are not even known to astronomers through their instruments even today. After studying both, the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said that the deeds of Hadrat Umar رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہare indeed equal to the stars. Equality or difference between two things can only be said by a person who has knowledge of both things, including their amount.

Besides these narrations, there are several other Ahadith that can be submitted. However, this amount suffices for brevity. These Ahadith also prove that the entire creation (aalam) is seen by the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as simply as him looking at his hand. Creation (Aalam) refers to everything besides Allahعزوجل .Thus, the Creation of Ajsaam (physical world), Arwaah (abode of the souls), lmkaan (possible realm), Malaaik (Realm of the Angels), Arsh, etc. - in fact, everything- is encompassed by the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم The Lawhe-Mahfooz on which all affairs are noted is also found in the creation.

Secondly, these Ahadith prove that he is informed of atl past and future occurrences.

Thirdly, whatever is done privately in the veil of the night's darkness is also not hidden from Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, as he informed Hadrat Abdullah رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ that his father was Huzai fah.

Fourthly, concerning who will die where, in what condition, whether they will die a mu'min or kaafir and what is in the womb of a woman are all known and not obscured to the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. In short, he possesses the knowledge of everything, minute or holistic.

OPINIONS OF THE ANNOTATORS OF HADITH REGARDING THE PROPHET'S صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم KNOWLEDGE OF THE UNSEEN

Annotation of Hadith I - "[Aini Sharah Bukhari, Fathul-Baari, Irshaadus-Saari and Mirqaat Sharah Mishkaat state regarding the Hadith in Section 2:] This Hadith proves that the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم explained all affairs and conditions of all creation, from the beginning until the end, in one gathering." 2.110

Annotation of Hadith 4 - "[Mirqaat, Sharah Shifaa by Mulla Ali Qaari, Zarqaani Sharah Mawaahib and Naseemur-Riyadh Sharah Shifaa state] The summary of this Hadith is that the earth was gathered for Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم just as how a mirror is held in the hand, with the holder able to see it completely. Far areas of the earth were folded to come near to him until he saw everything on it."

Annotation of Hadith 5 - "[Mulla Ali Qaari رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ writes] By attaining this faiz (guidance), I carne to know of all things between the heavens and the earth (meaning those things that Allahعزوجل informed him of). This is an expression describing the immense knowledge the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم possesses given to him by Allahعزوجل Allama Ibn Hajar has said, "He carne to know of all creation in the heavens - rather even further than them (as stated in the Hadith of Me'raj) - even on the seven earths and beneath as per the narrations in which the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم spoke of the bull and fish upon which the earths are stationary”2.112 - Mirqaatul-Mofateeh

Shaikh Abdul-Haqq Muhaddith Dehlwi رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ writes in this Hadith's explanation, "This Hadith expresses the attainment and comprehension of all juz'i and kuili branches acknowledge." -Ashiatul-Lam 'aat Sharon Mishkaat

Annotation of Hadith 7 - "[Discussing this Hadith, Shaikh Abdul-Haqq Muhaddith Dehlwi writes] ... Every type of knowledge became apparent to me and I understood everything."

- Ashiolul-Lam 'oat

Allama Zarqani رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ further adds, "In other words, "The world was made clear and opened for me and I understood everything in it." '1 look at the dunya and whatever Occurs in it until the Day of Qiyaamat just as how 1 see my hand' gestures to the fact that the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم truly and actually did see so. The possibility that "nazar'' refers to his knowledge is negated through this." 2.114 - Zarqaalli Shorah Mawaahib

Annotation of Hadith 8 - "[Imam Ahmad Qastalaani رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ writes in the explanation of this Hadith] There is no doubt that Allahعزوجل infonned the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم of much more than this and granted him knowledge of all past and future creation." 2.1 15
