Elm-e-Ghayb (Unseen knowledge) of Mustafa صَلَّی اللّٰہ تعالٰی علیہ واٰلہ وسلَّم

Dear Islamic brothers! Just ponder! The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم knows the condition of even a stone and knows which stone to what extent loves him, so he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is certainly aware of the conditions of the hearts of the believers. Therefore, the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم became aware of the desire of Sayyiduna Huzayfah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ without his asking and made Du’a of forgiveness for him and his mother.

After listening to this narration, if this evil thought enters the mind that      the knowledge of the conditions and states of the hearts is unseen and only Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ possesses the knowledge of unseen, then one should remember that undoubtedly Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is ‘عَالِمُ الۡغَيۡبِ وَ الشَّهَادَة’. His unseen knowledge is his personal knowledge i.e. His own and He عَزَّوَجَلَّ possesses it always (not given to Him by anyone), whilst the unseen knowledge of the blessed Ambiya Kiraam عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام and the pious saints are not their personal knowledge, but Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ grants them this special knowledge. Furthermore, they do not possess this knowledge beforehand, but they possess it when Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ grants it to them. They also possess this knowledge only to the extent which they are granted. Without Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ granting them knowledge, they would not have knowledge of even a particle. Therefore, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ bestows knowledge upon the Ambiya and pious saints and they spread this knowledge further. It is stated in the Holy Quran about the knowledge of Ghayb of Mustafa صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم:

وَ مَا ہُوَ عَلَی الۡغَیۡبِ بِضَنِیۡنٍ ﴿ۚ۲۴﴾

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: And this Nabi is not miserly upon telling the unseen. (Part 30, Surah At-Takweer, Ayah 24)

It is stated in Tafseer Khaazin, regarding this blessed Ayah: (This Ayah) means as the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم receives knowledge of the unseen, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم does not become stingy in conveying it to people, but he informs people. (Tafseer Khaazin, vol. 4, pp. 3)
