When he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه used to go to the Madrasaĥ, a voice would be heard saying, ‘Give room to Allah’s friend.’

Dear Islamic brothers! Sometimes when thinking about Karāmaĥ manifested by the friends of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, a person becomes victim to evil whispers by attempting to judge them according to his own intellect and therefore becomes misguided. Remember! A Karāmāt is such an exceptional manifestation which human intellect cannot comprehend i.e. which cannot be executed by physical means.
With the bestowment of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, the saints رَحِمَهُمُ اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰی get the ability to manifest such wonders. Irĥāṣ is the manifestation of a prodigy atypical to norms through a Prophet before [the declaration of] his Prophethood; and if it is manifested after the declaration of Prophethood, then it is called Mu’jizaĥ. If a similar unusual prodigy is manifested by a Walī, then it is called Karāmaĥ. It is called Ma’ūnat if exhibited by a Mūmin (True Believer). If such a wonder happens to be performed by a Kāfir (unbeliever) or an open-sinner, then it is termed as Istidrāj.
