The Holy Prophet Muhammed Sallallahu Alaihi wa sallam could see even from behind his back, more about this extra sensory perception later

Sahih Muslim Book 4, Number 0872: Anas b. Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Complete the rows, for I can see you behind my back.

Going to the deathbed of people just before they were about to die. The Tragedy of the death of the son of the Holy Prophet Muhammed Salalaahu Alaihi wasallam , Hazrat Syaddina Ibrahim(radiallahu taala anhu)

The Holy Prophet Muhammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam had to choose between Hazrat Imam Hussain Radi Allahu taala anhu and his son Hazrat Ibrahim, he chose Hazrat Imam Hussain Radi Allahu taala anhu, and conveyed to his son Hazrat Ibrahim embracing him what Allah had desired and the boy passed away in the presence of the Holy Prophet Muhammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam

Sahih Muslim Book 30, Number 5733: Anas b. Malik reported that Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: A child was born into me this night and I named him after the name of my father Ibrihim. He then sent him to Umm Saif, the wife of a blacksmith who was called Abu Saif. He (the Holy Prophet) went to him and I followed him until we reached Abu Saif he was blowing fire with the help of a blacksmith’s bellows and the house was filled with smoke. I hastened my step and went ahead of Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) and said: Abu Saif, stop it, as there comes Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him). He stopped and Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) called for the child. He embraced him and said what Allah had desired. Anas said: I saw that the boy breathed his last in the presence of Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him). The eyes of Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) shed tears and he said: Ibrahim, our eyes shed tears and our hearts are filled with grief, but we do not say anything except that by which Allah is pleased. O Ibrahim, we are grieved for you.

Sahih Muslim Book 30, Number 5734: Anas b. Malik reported: I have never seen anyone more kind to one’s family than Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him), and Ibrahim was sent to the suburb of Medina for suckling. He used to go there and we accompanied him. He entered the house, and it was filled with smoke as his foster father was a blacksmith. He took him (his son Ibrihim) and kissed him and then came back. ‘Amr said that when Ibrihim died. Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Ibrihim is my son and he dies as a suckling babe. He has now two foster mothers who would complete his suckling period in Paradise.

The conversion to Islam of the Jewish boy moments from his death , the Jewish boy used to serve the Holy Prophet Muhammed Salalaahu Alaihi wasallam

There used to be a Jewish boy who used to serve the Prophet Muhammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and attend his gatherings. So you can see that even the Non-Muslims used to love the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam so much that they used to serve him and be proud of it.

How did he serve the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam?
Well, he used to bring water for Wudu (Ablution) and once the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam used to arrive and take his shoes off, he would pick them up and carry them around until needed. If the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was about to leave, he would place the shoes near his feet.

After a few days, everyone noticed that the Jewish boy hadn’t been coming for days. Even then the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam wasn’t pressuring or possessing a hard temperament but he asked his companions” A few days have passed and I haven’t seen that Jewish boy’s face, They replied that he has been ill for a few days lying on his bed.

He, the Prophet Sallalaahu Alaihi wasallam said “O Abu Bakr Radiallahu taala anhu, Umer (Radiallahu taala anhu) let’s go to his house and see how he is. Now think for a moment do we Muslims even go to our Muslim brothers’ house to see how he is? while the Prophet Sallalaahu Alahi wasallam was so noble that he went to see a Jewish boy taking with him two of the highest-ranked companions. They arrived at his house and Prophet Sallalaahu Alaihi wasallam sat on his bed.

The Jewish boy used to listen to Quran and hadith by attending the Prophet’s gatherings but the Jewish boy never accepted Islam nor did Prophet Salallahu Alaihi wasallam persuade or pressure him to. These are the etiquettes of Dawah which should be shown by actions rather than words.

The Prophet Salallahu Alaihi wasallam asks the Jewish boy why don’t you accept my religion and read the Shahadah. The Jewish boy looked at his father but his father was silent and the boy fearful. The Prophet SalAllahu Alaih wasallam asked him again and the Jewish boy looked at his father but this time his father replied “O my son what are you looking at me for, This is Abul Qasim (The Truthful Person) speaking, believe whatever he says the Prophet Salallahu Alaihi wasallam doesn’t honor every house and make such requests. He himself has come here so accept his religion and leave mine.

The Jewish boy read the Shahadah and then Prophet Salallahu Alaihi wasallam became happy and started making invocations for him. As soon as Prophet Salallahu Alaihi wasallam left his house, the boy’s soul left his body. The Prophetic vision saw that the angel of death was approaching, his mercy couldn’t tolerate that one who carried my shoes during his lifetime and filled water for my Wuzu (Ablution) ended up in hell fire.

The Prophet Salallahu Alaihi wasallam came onto the street, raised his hands, and invoked “Praise be to Allah who by MEANS OF ME took this child out of hell”

Tafseer Ibn-e-Kathir

A young Jew became ill. The Prophet (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) went to visit him. He sat down by his head and said to him: Accept Islam. He looked at his father who was beside him near his head, and he said: Obey Abu al-Qasim. So he accepted Islam, and the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) stood up saying: Praise be to Allah Who has saved him through me from Hell.

The Holy Prophet Muhammed Salalaahu Alaihi wasallam could see with his eyes closed, His heart never sleeps

Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 56, Number 770: Narrated Sharik bin ‘Abdullah bin Abi Namr: I heard Anas bin Malik telling us about the night when the Prophet was made to travel from the Ka’ba Mosque. Three persons (i.e. angels) came to the Prophet before he was divinely inspired as an Apostle), while he was sleeping in Al Masjid-ul-Haram. The first (of the three angels) said, “Which of them is he?” The second said, “He is the best of them.” That was all that happened then, and he did not see them till they came another night and he perceived their presence with his heart, for the eyes of the Prophet were closed when he was asleep, but his heart was not asleep (not unconscious). This is characteristic of all the prophets: Their eyes sleep but their hearts do not sleep. Then Gabriel took charge of the Prophet and ascended along with him to Heaven.

Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 12, Number 818: Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas: One night I slept at the house of my aunt Maimuna and the Prophet slept (too). He got up (for prayer) in the last hours of the night and performed a light ablution from a hanging leather skin. (‘Amr, the sub-narrator described that the ablution was very light). Then he stood up for prayer and I got up too and performed the ablution in the same way and joined him on his left side. He pulled me to the right and prayed as much as Allah will. Then he lay down and slept and I heard his breath sounds till the Mu’adh-dhin came to him to inform him about the (Fajr) prayer. He left with him for the prayer and prayed without repeating the ablution. (Sufyan the subnarrator said: We said to ‘Amr, “Some people say, ‘The eyes of the Prophet sleep but his heart never sleeps.’ ” ‘Amr said, “‘Ubai bin ‘Umar said, ‘The dreams of the Prophets are Divine Inspirations. Then he recited, ‘(O my son), I have seen in dream that I was slaughtering you (offering you in sacrifice).”) (37.102)

The Holy Prophet Muhammed Salalaahu Alaihi wasallam sees and converses with Angels
Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 12, Number 814: Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah: The Prophet said, “Whoever eats garlic or onion should keep away from our mosque or should remain in his house.” (Jabir bin ‘Abdullah, in another narration said, “Once a big pot containing cooked vegetables was brought. On finding an unpleasant smell coming from it, the Prophet asked, ‘What is in it?’ He was told all the names of the vegetables that were in it. The Prophet ordered that it should be brought near to some of his companions who were with him. When the Prophet saw it he disliked to eat it and said, ‘Eat. (I don’t eat) for I converse with those whom you don’t converse with (i.e. the angels,).”

The Effect of nearness to the Holy Prophet Muhammed Salalaahu Alaihi wasallam on the Sahaba
There is no doubt of the extraordinary vision of the Holy Prophet, even the Sahabas in his presence would get Spiritually charged and the effect would go away when they were away from him

Sahih Muslim Book 37, Number 6623: Hanzala Usayyidi, who was amongst the scribes of Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him). reported: I met Abu Bakr. He said: Who are you? He (Hanzala) said: Hanzala has turned out to be a hypocrite. He (Abu Bakr) said: Hallowed be Allah, what are you saying?

Thereupon he said: I say that when we are in the company of Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) we ponder over Hell-Fire and Paradise as if we are seeing them with our very eyes and when we are away from Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) we attend to our wives, our children, our business; most of these things (pertaining to After-life) slip out of our minds.

Abu Bakr said: By Allah, I also experience the same. So Abu Bakr and I went to Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) and said to him: Allah’s Messenger, Hanzala has turned to be a hypocrite. Thereupon Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: What has happened to you?

I said: Allah’s Messenger, when we are in your company, we are reminded of Hell-Fire and Paradise as if we are seeing them with our own eyes, but whenever we go away from you and attend to our wives, children, and business, much of these things go out of our minds.

Thereupon Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, if your state of mind remains the same as it is in my presence and you are always busy in remembrance (of Allah), the Angels will shake hands with you in your beds and in your paths but, Hanzala, time should be devoted (to the worldly affairs) and time (should be devoted to prayer and meditation). He (the Holy Prophet) said this thrice.
Sahih Muslim Book 37, Number 6623:

The above hadees tells two things in the sentence, Tallukh and Amaal, that is Association or Reverence and deeds, or Faith and Deeds, two essential parts in developing Spiritual power, nearness to Allah’s Prophet and remembrance of Allah, the following is the sentence which conveys this message

if your state of mind remains the same as it is in my presence and you are always busy in remembrance (of Allah), the Angels will shake hands with you in your beds and in your paths

An example of the Vision developed through the nearness of Allah’s Apostle
The Spiritual power of Hazrat Umar radiallahu taala anhu
Well-grounded and groomed in the purifying and illumining, holy and divine companionship of the Spiritual Sovereign of the Universe (The Holy Prophet), the close associates and comrades of our dearest Prophet (Sallalaahu Alaihi wasallam) were the Spiritual Super Conducting Magnets refined through process of ‘Tazkia’. The Holy Messenger (Sallalaahu Alaihi wasallam ) himself spiritually charged them. Without physical means, they could spiritually scan and monitor even the combats against the unbelievers and issue commands to their war commanders engaged in far-off battlefields. In a war against the adversaries of Islam, the commander of the Muslim army Saria bin Jabal(Rahamatulla Alai) deployed his troops against the adversaries. In the event of war, the enemy changed its strategy and encircled the Muslim troops, catching them unaware. The Second Caliph of the Muslims, Hadrat Umar Farooq (radiallahu taala anhu) was, at that moment, delivering his Juma’a address in Madînah. Owing to his spiritual concentration, he scanned the battlefield, saw the positions of both the warring armies, and addressed the commander of his forces:

O Saria, take cover of the hill.’

1. (i) Muhammad Khatib Tabrizi, Mishkat-ul-masabih, b. of fada’il
   (virtues and merits) Ch.8 (3:318 # 5954);
   (ii) Abu Nu‘aym, Dalail–un-nubuwwah (p. 507);
   (iii) ‘Ali al-Hindi Kanz-ul-‘ummal (12:571,572,573#35788-91).

After issuing this command, he continued his address. He was neither equipped with any radar nor had he any direct TV Channel to monitor such a distant activity. Delivering his address in ‘Nabvi Mosque’ in Madînah, he issued instructions to his army commander engaged in the strategy of war. This was his Spiritual Magnetic Force and his inner vision that watched everything. The commander Hadrat Saria-bin-Jabal received the message of the Caliph, implemented his orders, took shelter of the hill as advised and in consequence thereof won the war. The enemy was defeated and the Muslim forces gained victory.
