A narration states that when the wife of a pious man fights with him the maidens of Jannat proclaim from paradise. "He is only guest for a few days. Thereafter he will come to us, so do not fight with him:' - Mishkaat, Kitaobun-­Nikaah

From this, it can be ascertained that even the Hoors have information of his passing away on goodness.

A day before the Battle of Badr, the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم drew markings on the ground and said, "So-and-so kaafir will die here, so-and-so kaafir will die there, etc." This proves that he has knowledge of where death win occur. -Mishkaal, Kitaabul-Jihad

These Ahadith prove that Allahعزوجل bestowed the knowledge of the Five Special Ghaibs to some of His servants. The Prophet's صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم knowledge encompasses all of theirs. Thus, how can he not possess knowledge of them?

It also proves that these five branches of knowledge, being successive (ataa'i) and created (baadith), do not become a quality of Allahعزوجل .Otherwise, none would know even a single thing from them. Partnership in Allah’sعزوجل qualities, whether completely or in part, is not permissible.

OBJECTION 17: None besides Allahعزوجل knows the interpretation of Mutashabahaat verses. 2.161o- Surah Aale-Immn, Verse 7

This proves that the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم does not have knowledge of Mutashabahaat verses.

Answer - Where does it say in this ayat that we have not given the knowledge of the Mutashabahaat verses to anyone? Allahعزوجل states, "AI-Rahman عزوجلhas taught His Beloved صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم the Holy Quran." When He has taught him the entire Quran, the Mutashabahaat are also included in it. As a result, it is the unanimous belief of the Hanafi muzhab that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم knew the Mutashabahaat. If not, then their revelation would be futile. According to the Shafis, the Aalims also have knowledge of the Mutashabahaat because they stop (waqf) at "War-Raasikhuna fil-llm."

Section 2

HADITH THAT SEEMINGLY NEGATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE UNSEEN

The opposition present many Ahadith in negation of the creation having Knowledge of the Unseen. The abridged answer to all of them is that Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم never said in these traditions, "Allahعزوجل never gave me the knowledge of such and such things:' Rather it was said, "Allahعزوجل A'lamu; What do I know?"

Some narrations state that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم never divulged a certain thing while others say that he asked a question concerning something. All of this does not negate knowledge. Saying, "Allahعزوجل A'iamu; What do I know?", not revealing something or asking questions could also have been due to some wisdom and reasoning. There are many things Allahعزوجل did not reveal to us even though He was asked. He also asked the angels many things. Does He not have knowledge? Dissenters should present a Sahih Hadith that is Qateeud-Dalaalat that negates Knowledge of the Unseen being bestowed. Insha-Allah, they will never be able to do so. This answer is sufficient but nevertheless, we answer the famous objections they present through the Ahadith.

OBJECTION 1: Once the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم attended a Nikah wherein the children of the Ansaar were performing a dirge (marsiya) of those killed in Badr with duffs (tambourines). One of them presented the following stanza, "Witb us, we have a prophet who knows the futurity.2.277 Upon this, Rasoolullah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said, "Leave this and recite what you were saying before."- Mishkaat, Baabu llaamin-Nikaah

This proves tbat the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم does not have Knowledge of the Unseen beta use be stopped them from what they were saying. If he truly knew it, wbat was the reason for stopping them?

Answer - Firstly, after paying some attention to this Hadith, it can be concluded that the stanza was not penned by those children because children do not know how to write poetry. It was also not written by any Kaafir or Mushrik because they do not accept the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم to be a prophet. So irrefutably, this verse was written by a Sahaabi. Tell us, is the Sahaabi who made this verse a Mushrik (Allahعزوجل Forbid!)? Also, the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم did not censor the poet or the stanza, but merely stopped the children from reciting it. Why did he stop its recitation? There are four reasons to this,

I. If anyone begins praising us in our presence, we say out of humility, "Stop and speak about something else." Thus, whatever the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said was out of modesty.

2. He prohibited reading verses of Na'at while in play and amusement. Respect is required for the reading of Na'at Sharif.

3. The Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم disliked the unseen to be attributed to him.

4. He disliked reading Na'at whilst a marsiya is recited.

Mulla Ali Qaari رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ writes in the annotation of this Hadith, "The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم stopped them from reading because he disliked Knowledge of the Unseen being solely attributed to him. Only Allahعزوجل and none besides Him has it, and the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم knows only those things which Allahعزوجل reveals to him. He could have also stopped them because he did not appreciate his remembrance to be made with the duff or during a marsiya. His glory is above these things:” 2.278-Mirqaatul-Mafateeh

Shaikh Abdul-Haqq Muhaddith Dehlwi رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ writes in the Hadith's explanation, "The Annotators of Hedith have written that Sayyiduna Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم stopped them from reading the stanza because Knowledge of the Unseen was attributed to him in it. As a result, he disliked this. Some have said that (he stopped them) because remembering him in times of play and amusement is not proper."

OBJECTION 2: The Ansaar of Madina used to take the male branches of trees and join them to female trees so that fruits my be excessively produced in their orchards (a process known as "talqeeh"). Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم stopped them from tbis. In time, when the fruit production decreased as per the wisdom of Allahعزوجل the Ansaar came to the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم to complain. He said, "You know your worldly matters better."2.280

This proves tbat be did not know that the production of fruits would decrease after stopping their method of pollination. Also, the knowledge of the Ansaar is now proven to be more than his.

Answer - Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم saying "Antum A'lamu bi umoori dunyakum" was out of displeasure. In other words he was saying, "If you do not make sabr, then worldly affairs belong to you." Negation of knowing is not intended.
