The Messenger of Allah possesses many manifest miracles and signs demonstrating [his veracity], reaching thousands and they are well known.
From amongst them was the Qur'an, the manifest and clear miracle and brilliant proof, falsehood cannot approach it from before it or behind it. It is a revelation from One Who is All-Wise and Praiseworthy.
It incapacitated the most eloquent of people in the most eloquent of times to produce a single chapter than would be comparable to it, even if the whole of creation were to gather for that purpose. Allah, the Exalted, says:
"Say: if the whole of mankind and the jinn gathered in order to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like of it, even if they assisted each other." [Al-Qur'an 17:88]
It challenged them to this despite their large numbers, their eloquence and their severe enmity, and it challenges them to this day.
As for the other miracles, it is not possible to enumerate them all due to their huge number and renewing and increasing nature. I will mention some examples:
The splitting of the moon, water flowing from between his fingers, increasing the quantity of food and water, the glorification of the food,
the palm tree yearning for him, stones greeting him, the talking of the poisoned leg [of roasted sheep], trees walking towards him,
two trees that were far apart coming together and then parting again, the barren [and therefore dry]
sheep giving milk, his returning the eye of Qatadah ibn an-Nu'man to its place with his hand after it had slipped out, his splitting lightly into the eye of 'Ali when it had become inflamed and its being cured almost immediately, his wiping the leg of 'Abdullah ibn 'Atiq whereupon he was immediately cured.
His informing of the places of death of the polytheists on the Day of Badr saying,
"this is the place of such-and-such a person." His informing of his killing Ubayy ibn Khalaf, that a group of his nation would traverse an ocean and 'Umm Haram would be amongst them and this occurred.
That all was drawn together for him of the ends of the earth and displayed to him would be opened for his nation, that the treasures of Chosroes would be spend by his nation in the Way of Allah, the Mighty and Magnificent.
That he feared for his nation that they would be tempted by the wealth and allurement of this world and that the treasures of the Persians and Romans would be ours and that Suraqah ibn Malik would wear the trousers of Chosroes.
