> Say, [O Muhammad], "**I do not tell you** that I have the depositories [containing the provision] of Allah or **that I know the unseen**, nor do I tell you that I am an angel. I only follow what is revealed to me." Say, "Is the blind equivalent to the seeing? Then will you not give thought?"
> Qur'an 6:50 The Prophet Muhammad is aware of many things which are unavailable to the rest of humanity. For example, *I looked at Paradise and saw that the majority of its residents were the poor; and I looked at the (Hell) Fire and saw that the majority of its residents were women* (Sahih al-Bukhari 5198 ). As far as I know, not even any other prophet had this knowledge. I found this tafsir: > This verse was revealed about Abu Jahl and his companions al-Nadr Ibn al-Harith and 'Uyaynah, and then it was revealed about the clients.
> Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs This indicates there's something specific which was unseen to the Prophet at the time the verse was revealed. **Question**: What was unseen when Qur'an 6:50 was revealed?
