Do Imams (peace be upon them) know the unseen (ilm-ul-gaib)?

Nobody knows the Unseen but Almighty Allah, and whomever Almighty Allah informs. He said: “(He is) the Knower of the Unseen, and He reveals unto none His secret, save unto every messenger whom He hath chosen, and then He makes a guard to go before him and a guard behind him”. This characteristic is inherited by the guardians of the nation of Islam after the Prophet (peace be upon him and holy progeny). Narrations indicate that the Prophet and Imams (peace be upon them all) used to inform others of future, like the murder of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) in Karbala. The Holy Prophet also informed Imam Ali (peace be upon him) that the latter will be murdered by a sword, and that the blood of his head will cover his beard, and he even told the Imam about the exact night that will witness his martyrdom. There are many occasions recorded in historical narrations in which they informed us about news from the Unseen.
