person). He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ stood over there at a spot and said, ‘Soon, a righteous person will be buried here.’

Therefore, sometime later, he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ was martyred and the rebels created such a clamour and disagreement at his funeral that he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ could not be buried near the blessed Raudah (of the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم) and nor in that part of the cemetery of Jannat-ul-Baqi’ which was the graveyard of other illustrious Sahabah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم; instead, he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ was laid to rest at a place that is situated afar and is known as ‘Hash-e-Kawkab.’ It was such a place that no one could even imagine about burying anyone over there as no grave was present in that area until that time.

Knowledge of the unseen and Awliya of Allah

Dear Islamic sisters! Through the above-mentioned narration, we have learnt that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ bestows the Awliya with the knowledge about the facts like when and where will they pass away and where their graves will be. Knowledge regarding the outcome of any activity and knowing future happenings is called the Knowledge of the Unseen. It happened exactly as Sayyiduna ‘Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ stated. Now ponder! When a blessed companion of the Noble Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is giving information of the knowledge of the unseen with divine bestowal, then imagine the amount of knowledge of the unseen Allah Almighty would have blessed His Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم with. Therefore, it is stated in the Glorious Quran:

وَ مَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَیْبِ بِضَنِیْنٍۚ(۲۴)

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: And this Prophet is not miserly upon the hidden. (Part 30, Surah At-Takweer, Ayah 24)

From the above-mentioned blessed Ayah, we have come to know that the Rasool of Rahmah, Intercessor of the Ummah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم reveals the news of the unseen to people, and it is obvious that only such a person can state and share things who knows it himself as well.
