النَّبِيُّ يَعلَمُ الغَيبَ بِتَعليمِ اللّه‏ِ The Prophet Knows the Unseen through Allah’s Instruction

1ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): ضَلَّت ناقَةُ رسولِ اللّه‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) في غَزوَةِ تَبُوكَ، فقالَ المُنافقونَ: يُحَدِّثُنا عَنِ الغَيبِ ولا يَعلَمُ مَكانَ ناقَتِهِ! فأتاهُ جَبرَئيلُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) فَأخبَرَهُ بما قالوا، وقالَ: إنَّ ناقَتَكَ في شِعْبِ كذا، مُتَعَلِّقٌ زِمامُها بشَجَرَةِ بَحرٍ . فَنادى رسولُ اللّه‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): الصلاةَ جامِعَةً، قالَ: فاجتَمَعَ الناسُ، فقالَ: أيُّها الناسُ، إنّ ناقَتي بِشِعبِ كذا، فَبادَرُوا إلَيها حتّى أتَوها.


1– Imam al-Sadiq (AS) narrated, ‘The Prophet (SAWA)’s she-camel got lost in the battle of Tabuk, so the hypocrites started to say [mockingly], ‘He talks to us about the Unseen but does not even know where his own she-camel is!’ So the archangel Gabriel (AS) came to him and informed him of what they were saying, and told him that his she-camel was in a particular valley, with its reins attached to a large tree. So the Prophet (SAWA) made the call for congregational prayer, and when the people had gathered, he told them , ‘O people, verily my she-camel is in such and such a valley’, so they ran to bring it for him.’[Qasas al-Anbiya’, p. 308, no. 408]
