4. Giving news of the unseen:

When sayyidunā ʿĪsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام cured the sick and gave life to the dead, some people claimed that it was magic, and that he should show another miracle. So, sayyidunā ʿĪsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام told them that he would inform them of what they ate yesterday and what they shall eat today, as well as what they have prepared for the future. This miracle was also manifested at his hands. He would inform a person of what he ate yesterday, what he would eat today, and what he had stored away for the future.

Many children would gather around him, and he would tell them that such-and-such was prepared in their home, that their family members had eaten such-and-such thing, that they had saved such-and-such thing for them. The children would go home and ask their families for that thing. Their families would give it to them and then ask, “Who informed you of this?” The children would reply, “Sayyidunā ʿĪsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام did”. Consequently, the people stopped their children from going to him, and said that he was a sorcerer.^[1]

It is unfortunate that by sitting in evil company, people sometimes fall prey to Satanic whispers regarding the authority of the noble Prophets عَـلَـيْهِمُ الصَّلٰوة وَالسَّلام and saints رَحْمَۃُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَیْہِمْ اَجْمَعِیْن, thereby rejecting miracles and falling into the pit of destruction. Therefore, we should always avoid bad
