Waraqah was the son of the second cousin of Abd-al-Muttalib (grandfather of Muhammad). Waraqah was a Christian. Some of the Christians at that time believed that the coming of a new prophet will occur. Waraqah could read and studied the scriptures. He related John 16:13 to his sister Qutaylah.
In John 16:13 Jesus said to the disciples: "When the spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own. But he will speak whatever he hears, he will declare to you the things that are to come"
Commentary from The New Oxford Annotated Bible (College Edition)
John 16 (12-15)
The advocate will clarify to the disciples both things said and not said. As Jesus agent and broker, he looks back to Jesus pastr remarks and looks to what is forth coming.
