I read this somewhere, I was hoping someone could shed some light on it?
Mulla 'Ali al-Qari said in Sharh al-Fiqh al-Akbar:
Quote:
"In sum, knowledge of ghayb is a matter exclusive Him - Glorified is He - and there is no path for the servants to it."
بالجملة فالعلم بالغيب أمر تفرد به سبحانه ولا سبيل للعباد إليه
And a little later he wrote:
"Know that the Prophets (upon them blessing and peace) do not know the unseen matters (mughayyabat) of things except what Allah has taught them from time to time. The Hanafis have mentioned with clear statements that by believing the Prophet (upon him blessing and peace) knew the unseen one is declared a disbeliever due to conflict with His (Exalted is He) statement: “Say: None in the heavens and earth knows the unseen but Allah.”"
اعلم أن الأنبياء عليهم الصلاة والسلام لم يعلموا المغيبات من الأشياء إلا ما أعلمهم الله أحيانا ، وذكر الحنفية تصريحا بالتكفير باعتقاد أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يعلم الغيب لمعارضة قوله تعالى قل لا يعلم من في السماوات والأرض الغيب إلا الل
