Allah tells His Prophet;

Allah tells His Prophet how to prove that what he has brought is true, saying to him to tell them;"He (Allah) is a witness over me and over you. He knows what I have brought to you. If I were lying to you, He would take revenge on me in the severest manner," as Allah says;

وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ الاٌّقَاوِيلِ

لاأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِالْيَمِينِ

ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ الْوَتِينَ

And if he had forged a false saying concerning Us, We surely would have seized him by his right hand, And then We certainly would have cut off his life artery. (69;44-46)

Allah said;

إِنَّهُ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِ خَبِيرًا بَصِيرًا



Verily, He is Ever the All-Knower, the All-Seer of His servants.

meaning, He knows best who among them deserves blessings, good treatment and guidance, and who deserves to be doomed and led astray
