This is what I had read in sealed nectar for for the 1 question.

Ibn Ishaq related that: “When the Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) was going up the hillock, he was followed by Ubai bin Khalaf who was saying: ‘Where is Muhammad (Peace be upon him)? Either I kill him or I will be killed.’ The Companions of Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said: ‘O Messenger of Allâh, do you mind if one of us combats with him?’ But the Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) said: ‘Leave him!’ So when he drew nearer, the Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) took the spear from Al-Harith bin As-Simma. He shivered violently in such a way that made all of them scatter in all directions violently and impulsively. Then he faced him, observed his clavicle through a gap between the wide opening of the armour and the part of his neck enclosed by. He speared him in that spot. The effect of the stroke was so strong that it made him roll off his horse over and over. When he returned to Quraish, they found that he had only had a small scratch in his neck. So when blood became congested he said: ‘By Allâh, Muhammad has killed me.’ Hearing him say so, they said: ‘By Allâh you are afraid to death. By Allâh, you are possessed by a devil.’ He replied: ‘He had already told me when we were in Makkah: ‘I will kill you.’ By Allâh, had he spate on me, he would have killed me.’ Eventually, the enemy of Allâh breathed his last at a place called Sarif, while they were taking him back to Makkah.” In a version by Abul-Aswad, on the authority of ‘Urwa: He was lowinglike a bull and saying: “By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, if (the pain) I am suffering from now were distributed among the people of Al-Majaz, it would cause them to die.”


And

Ibn al-Qayyim said – when discussing the battle of Uhud –

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) turned towards the Muslims, and the first one who recognized him beneath his armour was Ka’b ibn Maalik, who shouted at the top of his voice, “O Muslims! Rejoice! This is the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)!” He gestured to him to be quiet, and the Muslims gathered around him and went with him to the mountain pass where he had camped. Among them were Abu Bakr, ‘Umar, ‘Ali, al-Haarith ibn al-Simmah al-Ansaari and others. When they got close to the mountain, Ubayy ibn Khalaf, who was on a horse of his whose name was al-‘Iwadh, caught up with the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). The enemy of Allaah had claimed that he would kill the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) whilst riding this horse. When he got close to him, the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) took a spear from al-Haarith ibn al-Simmah and killed him with it. It hit him in his collarbone and the enemy of Allaah retreated in defeat. The mushrikeen said to him, By Allaah, there is nothing wrong with you. He said, By Allaah, if what is wrong with me had happened to the family of Dhu’l-Majaaz, they would all have died. He used to feed his horse in Makkah and say, I will kill Muhammad riding it. News of that reached the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and he said: “Rather I will kill him in sha Allaah.” When he stabbed him, the enemy of Allaah remembered that that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had said, “Rather I will kill him,” and he was certain that he would die from this wound. And he died from it in Sarif on his way back to Makkah.

For the question 5. I found in sealed nectar under the chapter battle of uhud

The Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) supervised the martyrs’ burial and said: “I bear witness that anyone who is wounded in the way of Allâh, Allâh will resurrect him with his wound bleeding a liquid which is blood-like in colour but musk-like in scent.”

Some of the Companions carried their men killed in the war to Madinah, but the Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) ordered that they should be sent back in order to be buried where they were killed. He ordered that they should not be washed but buried as they were after stripping them off their armours and leather clothes. He used to bury every two or three martyrs together in one grave and even join two men in one garment while saying: “Who is the more learned of the Qur’ân?” and he would commit him to earth first. He would say: “I bear witness to those on the Day of Resurrection.” He buried both ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin Haram and ‘Amr bin Al-Jamuh in one grave due to the affection they used to possess to each other.

They missed the coffin of Hanzalah, they sought it and found that it was on a spot nearby with water dripping off it. The Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) told his Companions that the angels were washing him and said: “Ask his wife”. They asked her and she confirmed that he had been in a state of ceremonial impurity. That was why Hanzalah was called ‘Ghaseel Al-Malâ’ikah’ (i.e. the one washed by the angels).

Prophets receive revelations form God. this is an established principle. I don't know what's there to argue with that.

As-salaamu `alaykum

Simple... These prove that such information was granted to the Prophet, sall Allaahu `alayhi wasallam. How can one make analogy on this to say it means he had full knowledge of the ghayb, that sounds like a ridiculous way of reasoning? Having knowledge about a, b and c of the ghayb, doesn't mean that he had knowledge of lets say x, y and z.

Was-salaam

Maybe try reading the Quran, shouldn't that be the first place to look. wa Allah ya'lam:

But those who reject Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), the torment will touch them for their disbelief (and for their belying the Message of Muhammad ). [Tafsir Al-Qurtubi]. [6:49]

[Hilali-Khan] Say (O Muhammad ): "I don't tell you that with me are the treasures of Allah, nor (that) I know the unseen; nor I tell you that I am an angel. I but follow what is revealed to me by inspiration." Say: "Are the blind and the one who sees equal? will you not then take thought?"[6:50]

[Hilali-Khan] Say (O Muhammad ): "I possess no power of benefit or hurt to myself except as Allah wills. If I had the knowledge of the Ghaib (unseen), I should have secured for myself an abundance of wealth, and no evil should have touched me. I am but a warner, and a bringer of glad tidings unto people who believe."[7:188]

[Hilali-Khan] It is only an Inspiration that is inspired.[53:4]
...
So did (Allah) convey the Inspiration to His slave [Muhammad Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam through Jibrael (Gabriel)]. [53:10]


Everything the prophet spoke after the time of being inspired, he didn't speak from the air, He spoke revelation and guidance. That is why he was a prophet, PBUH.

Another example, is prophet Yusuf, as, had it not of been from Allah, he wouldn't of predicted the famine.

but like al-kashmiri said : abc doesn't mean xyz.

 

[Aisya al-Humaira]

Assalamualaykum wa rahmatullah,

I used to learned that there are a few types of intuitions (some of it given to the believers and some given to the disbelievers). These includes; Muk'jizaat, Ilhaam, Karamaah, Irhaas, Istidraaj and Al-Maunnah. Also kasyaaf. However, I didnt learn the depth of each one of it. As far as I understood, Istidraaj is given to the disbelievers, something of which we might see as a ni'mat but its actually to increase the disbeliefs in their hearts. Naothobillahi min zhalik.

How about regarding the story where at one time Saidina Umar al-Khattab was given a sermon at a mimbar, but Allaah granted him of a glimpse of that happening in a war. Then he gave order from where he was and eventually the Muslims won in the war. Does anyone knows about this?

Jazakallahu khayr.

That is the answer to all of the questions. I can add a little more.

Rather than examining what the Prophet knew of the unseen, look at what he didn't know.

Here is one: In Islam, it is forbidden for a man to put himself in a state of harm. Meaning, you avoid anything that might end in your death or seriously injure you. If the Prophet knew the future, he would have never accepted food from the Jewish lady who invited the Prophet only to poison him and his friends. And even worse yet, would the Prophet cause his closest companions to get poisoned while he was aware?

This alone is enough for anyone with a whiff of intelligence to understand. There are many more examples throughout the Prophet life, and I want to mention just two more: If the Prophet knew the unseen he would have never made a pact with the Jews, and would have never trusted them to protect their flank. Had he known this, he would have surely averted the death of so many Mujaahideen.

Or the time when he sent a group of knowledgeable men to deliver a message, and they were most if not all memorizers of the book of Allaah. They were betrayed and killed and it saddened the Prophet greatly. Would the Prophet have sent all of these righteous people to their death if he had known the unseen? (If anyone can remind me where I can find this in the seerah, I would appreciate it)

Quran 6:59:

And with Him are the keys of the unseen; none knows them except Him. And He knows what is on the land and in the sea. Not a leaf falls but that He knows it. And no grain is there within the darknesses of the earth and no moist or dry [thing] but that it is [written] in a clear record.

To claim that the Prophet is alongside Allaah with the knowledge of the unseen is to claim that the Prophet is a god, and this is clear shirk.

And Allaah knows best.
