THE BELOVED PROPHET'S KNOWLEDGE OF THE UNSEEN

Chapter 21, "Fee Ilmihi wa Ilmi Gaybihi" (On His Knowledge Of The Seen And Unseen), has 361 salawaat proving that the blessed Prophet Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam had the knowledge of the seen as well as the unseen. For example, the beloved Prophet Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam had seen heaven and hell, he had seen angel Jibril 'alaihissalaam as well as the other angels, he had been to the seven skies and met the Prophets 'alaihimussalaam on them when he was invited by Allah on mi'raj, he had seen the punishment given to sinners in their graves, he knew who would go to heaven and hell, he knew that Imam Hasan Rady Allahu 'Anhu would one day unite two Muslim factions, and he knew that Sayyidah Fatima Rady Allahu 'Anha would be the first to follow him after he left his earthly existence. He made many other prophecies all of which came true. For example, he prophesized that Allah Ta'ala will conquer Rome and Persia for the Muslims. He knew about Sidratu'l Muntaha (the farthest Lote-tree), Arsh (Allah's Throne), Maqam Mahmud (The Highest Praised Station), as well as the Tasbeehaat (hymns) of the angels in the various heavens. He informed us that the Tasbeeh (hymn) of the angels in the first heaven is "Sub'hana Zi'l Mulki wa'l Malakoot" and Shaykh 'Abdur Rahman Chohravi Rahmatullahi 'alaih has a salaat for it:

Allahumma Salli wa Sallim 'alaa Sayyidina Muhammad-in
Wa 'alaa aali Sayyidina Muhammad-i
Nilladhee akhbara anna Tasbeeha malaaika-ta's-samaa-id-dunyaa
Sub'haana Zi'l Mulki Wa'l Malakoot

O Allah! Bestow blessings and peace on Sayyidina Muhammad
and on the family of Sayyidina Muhammad
who informed us that the hymn of the angels on the first sky is:
Glory be to Allah! Owner of the Kingdom and Sovereignty

In the same way, he informed us about the Tasbeehaat (hymns) of the angels on the other skies as follows:

On the second sky: Sub'haana Zi'l Izzati wa'l Jabaroot
Glory be to Allah! Possessor of Honour and Omnipotence

On the third sky: Su'bhaana'l Hayyi'lladhee laa yamoot
Glory be to Allah! Everliving, Everlasting

On the fourth sky: Subboohun Quddoosun Rabbunaa wa Rabbu'l Malaaikati Wa'rrooh
Glory be to Allah, The Most Holy One, Our Lord,
and the Lord of the angels and of the Archangel Jibril Alayhissalam

On the fifth sky: Sub'haana Man Jama'a bayna'th-thalji wa'n-naar
Glory be to Allah! Who brought together ice and fire

On the sixth sky: Sub'haana'l Maliki'l Quddoosi Rabbi Kulli Shay'in wa Ilay-hi'nnushoor
Glory be to Allah! The Sovereign, The Most Holy One, Lord of all Creation
and to Him is the return (on the Day of Judgement)

On the seventh sky: Sub'haana Khaaliqinnoor
Glory be to Allah! The Creator of Light

When we finish praying Chapter 21 of Majmu'ah Salawaat-u'r-Rasul, we obtain the certitude that Allah gave the sum total of all knowledge, both manifest and hidden to the beloved Prophet Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam who then distributes it among people in proportion to what has been decreed for them by Allah Ta'ala Khaaliq u'l Arsh.
