[Machine] Laeqit ibn Amir left and came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with his companion named Nahiq ibn Asim ibn Malik ibn Montafiq. Laeqit said: "I went out and my companion and I traveled until we reached Madinah on the 27th of Rajab. We came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he finished the morning prayer and stood up to give a sermon. He said, 'O people, know that I have been hiding my voice from you for the past four days so that I can speak to you today. Is there anyone whose people have sent him?' They said, 'We do not know what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is saying.' He replied, 'Perhaps he is preoccupied with his own talk or with the talk of his companion, or perhaps he is distracted by misguidance. Know that I have a question for you, have you conveyed [my message]?' 'Yes,' they replied. 'Then listen and live, listen and live, sit down.' So the people sat down, and my companion and I stood until he had finished speaking. Then, when his heart and sight were settled, I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what knowledge do you have of the unseen?' He laughed and shook his head and knew that I was seeking a favor from him. He said, 'Your Lord is inclined to five things of the unseen that no one knows except Him.' And he pointed with his hand. So I asked, 'What are they, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'The knowledge of the exact time of one's death, which you do not know, and the knowledge of the time when a drop of semen is inside the womb, which is known but you do not know, and the knowledge of what will happen tomorrow, which is known, but you do not know if you will be alive or not, and the knowledge of the unseen of that Day [of Judgment], which is mighty and concerning which you will feel awe. And your Lord laughs knowing that your return is soon.' Laeqit said, 'I said, "We will not be without a Lord who laughs, which is good." And the knowledge of the Hour.'
