[Machine] The orphan Ibn Amir went to visit the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , accompanied by his companion, known as Nihik bin Asim bin Malik bin Muntafiq. Laqit said, "I went out with my companion until we reached the city of Medina in the month of Rajab. We came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he finished the morning prayer and stood up to address the people. He said, 'O people, know that I have withheld my voice from you for four days in order to make you hear today. Is there anyone who has been sent by his people?' They said, 'We do not know what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ says.' He then said, 'Perhaps he was preoccupied with talking to himself or with the conversation of his companion, or perhaps he was distracted by misguidance. Know that I am responsible, have I conveyed the message? Listen and you shall live, listen and you shall live, listen and sit down.' The people sat down and I and my companion remained standing until he finished his speech and regained his composure. I then said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what knowledge do you have of the unseen?' He laughed and shook his head. He knew that I was seeking knowledge of the gender of my unborn child, and he said, 'Your Lord has knowledge of five things from the unseen which no one other than Him knows.' He gestured with his hand and I asked, 'What are they, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'He knows the time of death of every one of you, but you do not know it. He knows when a fetus is in the womb, but you do not know it. He knows what will happen tomorrow, but you do not know it. He knows what you will eat tomorrow, but you do not know it. And He knows what will happen on the Day of Judgment, but you do not know it. And He watches over you, worried and fearful, while your Lord continues to laugh, knowing that your return is near.' Laqit said, 'I said, we will never be deprived of a Lord who laughs, which is a good thing. And He knows what will happen on the Day of Resurrection.'"
