Answer:
Ilm ul-Ghayb (knowledge of the unseen without any medium) is the special
attribute of Allah Ta’ala. Pious people do not have knowledge of the unseen
without any medium. The Ilm al-Ghayb of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi
Wasallam) was through Wahy (revelation) or Kashf (divine inspiration).
The knowledge of the unseen of pious saints is also by Kashf.
and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
