Sahih al-Bukhari 7380 (Book 97, Hadith 10) #7087
The Limits of Prophet Muhammad's Knowledge

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the limits of Prophet Muhammad's knowledge and that no one can know the Unseen except Allah.

Narrated Masruq: 'Aisha said, "If anyone tells you that Muhammad has seen his Lord, he is a liar, for Allah says: 'No vision can grasp Him'. (6:103) And if anyone tells you that Muhammad has seen the Unseen, he is a liar, for Allah says: "None has the knowledge of the Unseen but Allah".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ مَنْ حَدَّثَكَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَأَى رَبَّهُ فَقَدْ كَذَبَ وَهْوَ يَقُولُ ‏{‏لاَ تُدْرِكُهُ الأَبْصَارُ‏}‏ وَمَنْ حَدَّثَكَ أَنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ فَقَدْ كَذَبَ، وَهْوَ يَقُولُ لاَ يَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the limits of Prophet Muhammad's knowledge and that no one can know the Unseen except Allah. It was narrated by Masruq, who reported that 'Aisha said, "If anyone tells you that Muhammad has seen his Lord, he is a liar, for Allah says in Surah Al-Anaam 6:103 'No vision can grasp Him.' And if anyone tells you that Muhammad has seen the Unseen, he is a liar, for Allah says in Surah Al-Naml 27:65 'None has the knowledge of the Unseen but Allah'. This hadith teaches us to be humble and to remember our limitations as humans. We should not think too highly of ourselves or claim to have knowledge beyond what we are capable of knowing. We should also remember to always turn to God for guidance and understanding since He alone knows all things unseen.
