Assalam o alaykum,

Since you have quoted the above ahadith from a book of ‘Allamah Ibn al-Jawzi (may Allah have mercy on him), then why not ask him what are his views on issue of Ilm-i-ghayb? Let him be the judge on this matter?

He quotes a fatwa of Sayyiduna ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) as follows,

قال ابن عباس: هذه الخمس لا يعلمها ملَك مقرَّب ولا نبيٌّ [مرسَل] مصطفى


“These five (unseen matters) are not known to anyone; neither to any closest angel nor to most prominent prophet.” (Zad al-Masir fi ‘Ilm al-Tafsir li Ibn Jawzi, under 31:34)

And he narrates from Allamah Zajjaj (d: 311H / may Allah have mercy on him),

قال الزجاج: فمن ادَّعى أنه يعلم شيئاً من هذه كفر بالقرآن لأنه خالفه


“One who claims to know any of these five matters, he disbelieves in the Glorious Qur’an.” (Zad al-Masir fi ‘Ilm al-Tafsir li Ibn Jawzi, 31:34)
