The Question: Did the Messenger of Allah (Salallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) see the sea?
Answer (by Shaikh Abdul Wahhab bin Nasir At-Twareeri): I do not know of any narration that indicates that he (Prophet Muhammad) saw it (the sea), or walked close to it, despite the sea being close to Makkah. This is one of the signs of prophethood. The description of the sea in the Quran, and the description of the psychological state of those who ride it, can only be understood by those who have ridden the sea. So, if someone who has not seen the sea with his own eyes describes it, it indicates that this Quran is revelation that was revealed (by Allah)… And Allah knows best.
