The Prophet Muhammad (saas)

As we see from this verse, Yusuf (as) is
saying that he knew something that had not yet
occured. That is knowledge, and a miracle, imparted to him
by Allah. Allah also gave him the knowledge to interpret dreams. As
long as Allah so wished, he could see certain events in the future.

Similar knowledge to that given to Yusuf (as) was also given to
other prophets. In some verses, Allah states that He will reveal aspects

of the unknown to those He chooses to be His messengers:

Our Lord gave the Prophet (saas) much knowledge of the un-
known. The Prophet (saas) was told by Allah of things that had hap-
pened in the past, which nobody knew about, and of things that were
yet to happen in the future. Allah states the truth in one verse:

This chapter will consider some information regarding the un-
known that has come down to us from the Qur'an, that was imparted
by Allah to the Prophet (saas) or that is available in the hadiths. (For
more detail, see Harun Yahya, Miracles of the Qur'an, Attique
Publishers, 2001).
The great majority of these things have come to pass already,
and people have witnessed these miracles. That is also one of the
proofs that the Prophet (saas) was the messenger of Allah and that the
Qur'an is the word of Allah.
