Transliteration:( Wa maa huwa 'alal ghaibi bidaneen )
20. From it, emerge two issues:
The Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم has been given the knowledge of the Unseen.
The Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم has revealed much from it. It is apparent that being generous can only be the quality of that person who possesses the thing and he continues giving it to people.
By unseen means issues of Shariah (Islamic Laws), which had come from Allah Almighty, the Knower of the unseen. Or, it could mean the unseen affairs of the past and future periods. Or, the information of the unseen world. In the first condition two benefits could be obtained:
1. A scholar of Religion should not conceal issues of Shariah (Islamic Laws).
2. The Holy Prophet did not conceal any religious issue. Those people who raise objections regarding Hadith e Qirtas makes it an obligatory issue that the did not Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم complete his propagation mission. Also, the Holy Prophet stated some issues under pressure of some of his Noble Companions. This type of belief is contrary to this verse as well as the following verse: "O Messenger! Communicate that which has been sent down to you from your Lord' (S5:V67). This would then mean that the religion was not fully conveyed, although Allah Almighty says: "Today I have completed for you your Religion '' (S5:V3). We learn from the second explanation that Allah Almighty had bestowed the knowledge of the unseen upon him and the Holy Prophet informed his Noble Companions about them.
