God exalted be He says How can there be a reminder for them that is to say faith will not benefit them once the chastisement has been sent down when already there has come to them a manifest Messenger whose Message is plain to understand

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood among us (to give us an address) and he left out nothing that would happen up to the last hour without telling of it. Some remembered it and some forgot, and these Companions of his have known it. When something of it which I have forgotten happens, I remembered it, just as a man remembers another's face when he is a away and recognizes him when he sees him.
