[Machine] Laqit ibn 'Amir went to visit the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with his companion named Nihik ibn 'Asim ibn Malik ibn Muntafiq. Laqit said, "I went out with my companion until we reached Madinah, during the month of Rajab, and we came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ after he finished praying Fajr. He stood among the people as a preacher and said, 'O people, indeed I have saved my voice for you for four days so that I can address you today. Is there anyone among you who has been sent by his people?' They said, 'Inform us about what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ says.' He said, 'Perhaps he is being occupied by his own speech or the speech of his companion, or he may be distracted by misguidance. Indeed, I have a question: have I conveyed the message?' He repeated this three times and said, 'Listen carefully, live a good life, and sit down.' The people sat down, and my companion and I remained standing until he finished speaking. Then, when he had some rest, I asked him, 'O Messenger of Allah, do you have knowledge of the unseen?' He smiled and shook his head, and he knew that I was trying to make him reveal something. He said, 'Your Lord has some knowledge of the unseen, of which only He has knowledge, and He motioned with his hand. I asked, 'What is it, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'Knowledge of when one will die, which you do not know, and knowledge of when the sperm will be in the womb, which has been known, and knowledge of what will happen tomorrow, which has been known, for you do not know whether you will be alive or not. And knowledge of the unseen, which brings fear to those who possess it, while your Lord continues to laugh, to show that He knows your return is near.' Laqit said, 'I said, We will not be deprived of a Lord who laughs is a good thing, and knowledge of the Hour.'"
