As-Salaam alaikum,

 Just as when a piece of iron when exposed and immersed in tremendous heat of fire annihilates its own identity and becomes lost in the color and quality of fire, similarly the Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, lost his own self-hood in the fire of Divine Love, and attained to his highest degree of Khilafat... and through him, the Attributes of Allah Ta'ala were/are made manifest.

 Therefore, his seeing, hearing, doing and speaking are that of the Divine's. That is why Allah says about the Prophet:--

     "You did not slay them, and in no way did you throw

       when you threw, but Allah threw." (8:17)

  "The Prophet doesn't speak out of his own volition,

    his speech is the speech of Allah". (53:3)

Through the Prophet, Allah's beautiful Names and Attributes were manifested fully, that is why following the Prophet, alaihi salat was Salaam, is made equivalent of following Allah, where the Qur'an declares:--

  "He who obeys the Messenger has obeyed  Allah" (4:80)

Also, by Allah's bestowal, the Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, had within himself manifest the Divine Attributes that are supernatural from ordinary human standard... for example, he said:--

"Allah has folded the entire earth in front of me. So I can simultaneously observe everything from its east to its west." (Muslim) and

"Allah has placed this worldly manifestation in such a mysterious way in front of my eyes that whatever will be created until the Day of Judgement, I can see them as if they are on top of my palm." (Tabrani)

From this, we deduce that from the subtlety of his haqiqa, space and time boundaries are made null and void, everything is made present simultaneously. Allah's mystical endowments) to the Prophet are in his power of hearing and seeing. That is why he said:-

 "I can see what you cannot see, I can hear what you cannot hear". (Ahmad and Tirmidhii).
