Did the Prophet ﷺ saw Allah - Does he have knowledge of the unseen?
Did Muhammad Saw Allah ?
Aisha رضي الله عنها said:
Know that if somebody tells you one of the following three things, he is a liar:
Whoever tells you that Muhammad ﷺ saw his Lord, is a liar."
Then Aisha رضي الله عنها recited the Verse: 'No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision. He is the Most Courteous Well-Acquainted with all things.' (6.103)
'It is not fitting for a human being that Allah should speak to him except by inspiration or from behind a veil.' (42.51)
`Aisha رضي الله عنها further said,
"And whoever tells you that the Prophet ﷺ knows what is going to happen tomorrow, is a liar."
She then recited: 'No soul can know what it will earn tomorrow.' (31.34)
She رضي الله عنها added: "And whoever tell you that he concealed (some of Allah's orders), is a liar." Then she recited: 'O Apostle! Proclaim (the Message) which has been sent down to you from your Lord..' (5.67) `Aisha رضي الله عنها added. "But the Prophet ﷺ saw Gabriel in his true form twice."
