مِنْ ذٰلِكَ اُصَدِّقُهُ بِخَبْرِ السَّمَآءِ فِيْ غَدْوَةٍ اَوْ رَوْحَةٍ’ I even confirm his heavenly reports, day and night. Certainly, that is more astonishing and amazing than this.’ Therefore, he became known as ‘Siddeeq’ (the confirmer) after this incident. (Mustadrak, vol. 4, p. 25, Hadith 4515)

Bayt-ul-Muqaddas and the state of trader caravans

From among the people, there were some who had seen Bayt-ul-Muqaddas and so they asked him regarding the signs of Bayt-ul-Muqaddas. The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم started informing them of the signs, and then he was hesitant about some things, so Bayt-ul-Muqaddas was presented before him near Daar-e-Aqeel. He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم them looked at it and informed them of all the signs. Upon hearing this, people said: ‘As far as the signs are concerned, by Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ they are certainly true.’ (Musannaf Ibn-e-Abi Shaybah, vol. 16, p. 443, Hadith 32358, selected) Some people even enquired about the state of their caravans that were returning after trading in other countries, The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم informed them regarding the caravans and even their time and place of arrival. Everything happened as he said it would happen, but instead of bringing faith in him, they accused him of magic. (Khasaais-ul-Kubra, vol. 1, pp. 280-294, summarised)

Informer of the unseen

Dear Islamic brothers! You just heard how our master, the Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم informed of the signs of Bayt-ul-Muqaddas and the place and time of the arrival of the trader caravans that were returning after trading in other countries, by giving news of the unseen. No doubt Allah Almighty bestowed the Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم with special magnificence on that night. We should not only mention the magnificence of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم on a regular basis, but we should express our true love for him by acting upon the Sunnahs as much as possible and spending our remaining life in hatred of sins, and regularly performing good deeds. Remember! On
