In whispers will they speak to each other (saying): “You stayed not longer than ten (days).”’ We know very well what they will say, when the best among them in knowledge and wisdom will say: “You stayed no longer than a day!”2l

“He (Allah) will say: “What number of years did you stay on earth?” They will say: “We stayed a day or part of a day. Ask of those who keep account.” He (Allah) will say: “You stayed not but a little, ~ if you had only known!”

“Say: “None in the heavens and the earth knows the Ghaib (unseen) except Allah, nor can they perceive when they shall be resurrected,” Nay, they have no knowledge of the Hereafter. Nay, they are in doubt about it. Nay, eye are blind about it."

“Verily, Allah! With Him (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour, He sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. No person knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no person knows in what land he will die. Verily, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware (of things)."") When. Jibreel came in the shape of a Bedouin and asked the Messenger of Allah #¥ about the Hour, the Prophet ## answered, “The one being asked is not more knowledgeable regarding it than the questioner.” Regarding knowledge of when the Hour will come, the questioner and the one being questioned are at the same level: both have no knowledge thereof. Both categories — the questioner and the one being asked — are preceded by Alif and Laam, which signify the word “the.” If the questioner is referring to Jibreel #8 and the one being questioned is referring to the Prophet #8, then we can conclude that everyone other than them does not have knowledge about the Hour as well. However, “the” can have a more general meaning here: “the” questioner meaning every single questioner, and “the one being asked” meaning every single person who can be asked a question. In that case, the wording itself excludes all from having knowledge about the Hour. And Allah knows best.
