The Prophet's knowledge surpasses that of even the most dedicated people of science who are only able to acquire, even after years of study, an incomplete understanding of perhaps one or more scientific field such as that of medicine, the interpretation of visions, the distribution of inheritance, mathematic, lineage etc. that stem from his knowledge. His knowledge encompassed all sciences in full.

Of visions, the Prophet warned, "Visions flutter above a man's head." He also said, "Visions fall into three categories, the true vision, a dream in which a person talks to himself, and a distressful dream which is from satan." He also said, "When the end of time draws near, the vision of a believer will never lie."

The Prophet spoke of many cures including those of the ear and inside the mouth, of cupping, and laxatives. Regarding the best time for cupping he told his Companions that it is on the seventeenth, nineteenth and twenty-first of the (lunar) month.

Prophet Muhammad mentioned the status of the stomach saying, "The son of Adam has not filled any container worse than his stomach. If it has to be filled, then one third should be for food, another third for beverage and the remaining third for breath."

The Prophet was asked if "Sabi" was a person or a country whereupon he replied, "He was the father of ten children, six in Yemen and four in Syria."

Prophet Muhammad spoke of time, saying, "Time revolves in a circle which was its form on the day that Allah created the heavens and the earth."

The Prophet spoke of the Pool adjacent to Al Kawthar, and described it saying, "Its corners form a square."

As for the remembrance of Allah (dhikr) the Prophet gave the good news, "A good deed has ten more like it, therefore, one hundred and fifty on the tongue is equal to fifteen hundred on the Scales."

The Messenger of Allah informed his Companions that everywhere between the east and the west is a direction of prayer (kibla).
