Sahih Bukhari 7379 – Only Allah Knows What Is Inside The Womb Of Mother
“The keys of the unseen are five which none knows but Allah: None knows what is in the womb but Allah; none knows what will happen tomorrow but Allah; none knows when it will rain but Allah; none knows at what place one will die; none knows when the Hour will be established.”
With respect to Hadith above it seems humans in this day and age can get knowledge of at least 2 of the 5. 1) find out what goes on in a mother’s womb with the help of medical technologies such as radiology/ultrasound and genetic testing. 2) accurately predict when it rains via meteorology and weather forecasting and not only that but we are now capable to make it rain wherever we wish.
Is there another aspect to this Hadith or is the matn problematic?

This part has been reported as last portion of Hadith-e-Jibreel in some variants (See: https://sunnah.com/muslim:8e) and in some narrations only this portion has been narrated separately (See: https://sunnah.com/bukhari:7379). The most credible narration in this regard is from Umar (rta) and in that narration, no such thing is mentioned (See: https://sunnah.com/muslim:8a). It is possible that this specific portion was added on by later narrators seeing as how the context of the discussion regarding the time of Qiyamah in the last portion of this Hadith is in line with Quran 31:34.
For comments of Ghamidi Sahab on this Narration, Please refer to the link below from 31:34 to 34:28
