The Prophet stroked the face of Katada, Milhan's son and it shone in a way that when someone looked at his face it was like looking into a mirror.

Hanzalah, Hidhaym's son was also blessed by the touching of his head by the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him. One day a man came to him with his sheep. His face was swollen and the udders of his sheep were also swollen. The swollen parts were placed upon the area the Prophet's hand had touched Hanzalah’s head and the swellings disappeared.

During the conflict of Hunain, the Prophet picked up a handful of dust and threw it at the faces of the unbelievers and said, "May their faces be ugly!" They turned away and wiped filth from their eyes.

At one time Abu Hurayrah came to the Prophet and complained of his forgetfulness. The Prophet told him to spread out his robe and he scooped his hands into it. Then he told him to draw the robe to him, and this he did. Thereafter he did not forget a thing. (Shaykh Darwish commented: Abu Hurayrah reported over 5000 prophetic sayings which were, with the exception of 42 prophetic sayings, also reported by many other Companions. This fact is proof that those who attempt to throw doubt on the science of hadith, or on the personality of Abu Hurayrah are wrong, and Muslims should not doubt these reports.)

Jarir, Abdullah's son was unstable on horses, the Prophet patted his chest and supplicated for him and thereafter he became the best and most stable of all Arab horsemen.

The Prophet's Knowledge
of some of the Unseen and Future

The transmissions relating to these subjects are well known and are so numerous that they can be compared to a vast, unpluggable ocean that never ceases to overflow.

Regarding the signs relating to future events and the Last Day, Hudhayfa tells us, "The Messenger of Allah gave a sermon in which he omitted nothing that would occur up until the Last Day. Some of us remembered them whereas some forgot, but many of my companions know them. When any of the events were realized, I would recognize and recall what the Prophet had told us in the same way that a man remembers the face of another who went away but recognizes him upon his return." Hudhayfa then said, "I do not know whether my companions have forgotten or pretended to forget but the Messenger of Allah did not omit the initiator of a single disaster which would occur right up until the end of the world, and there were more than three hundred. Not only did he name the initiator but he also gave the names of their fathers as well as their tribes."

Abu Dharr tells us, "When the Messenger of Allah passed away, there wasn't a single bird that flies in the sky that he had not informed us about."
