As a descendant of the Numenoreanrace, Aragorn had the gift of foresight...ESP if you will. He simply had a premonition concerning Gandalf, that's all.
I believe you are refering to the film there spirit?
And it was Saruman that warned Gandalf that he knew what the dwarves awoke in Khaxad-dum, not Sauron.
But this thread is discussing the book, not the film. Saruman did not warn Gandalf in the book like he did in the film.
I agree that they also knew something big and evil had killed all the dwarves there and quite possibly still lived there. This was a risk that they shouldn't take unnecessarily but they were forced into it having no other options. And foresight played a role as well i believe.
