Awareness of Wordly things


Some Muslims try to degrade the position of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) by simply writing that Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) (May Allah forbid) said: You do not consult me for wordly matters.
Please see the following incident in reply to the above allegation:
The group of Abdul Qais visited the Prophet (s.a.w.a.). After exchanging greetings the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) asked them to show to him the dates they carried with them from their place. Everyone of the group put his product before the Prophet (s.a.w.a.). The Prophet (s.a.w.a.) inspected each date carefully and told about the variety it belonged to.
The group was surprised that the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) knew so much about their place that he was able to identify the variety of dates grown by each individual. Then they told to the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) that they had their maternal uncle accompanying them. He was suffering some mental disorder. The Prophet (s.a.w.a.) asked for a sheet of cloth to be brought. He put the sheet onthe head of the afflicted person and said thrice, “ O enemy of Allah! Don’t trouble this person!”The insane person turned sane immediately.
The group was having a sheep along with them. The Prophet (s.a.w.a.) pressed on one of the ears of the animal. It developed a mark on the ear pressed by the Prophet (s.a.w.a.). Even to this day the sheep of that breed continue to have similar mark on one of their ears.

Ali Ibne Ibrahim bin Mahziyar narrates one year when the Hajj season arrived, I prepared for the journey and set out to Medina. When I reached Medina, I inquired from the people about the descendants of Imam Hasan Askari (a), but could not get any information. I was very much worried and at last set out for Mecca. On the way, one day at Johfa I headed for Ghadeer, which is at a distance of four miles from Johfa. I reached there and prayed in the Masjid and after that I supplicated Almighty Allah very fervently; but the aim was not fulfilled there also. So I went to Asfan and thus passing each stage in turn, reached Mecca. I stayed there for some days and was engrossed in Tawaf and other devotions. One night, when I was doing the Tawaf, I noticed an extremely handsome and fragrant young man walking about and doing the Tawaf of the Kaaba. Some feelings arose in my heart; I moved towards him and touched him. He asked: Where do you belong to? I said: Iraq. He asked: Where in Iraq? I said: ...
