وَنُؤْمِنُ بِمَا جَاءَ مِنْ كَرَامَاتِهِمْ وَصَحَّ عَنِ الثِّقَاتِ مِنْ رِوَايَاتِهِمْ
We believe in reports of the saints' extraordinary graces that are soundly transmitted by reliable narrators.
وَلَا نُصَدِّقُ كَاهِنًا وَلَا عَرَّافًا وَلَا مَنْ يَدَّعِي شَيْئًا يُخَالِفُ الْكِتَابَ وَالسُّنَّةَ وَإِجْمَاعَ الْأُمَّةِ.
We do not affirm a kāhin (soothsayer), an ʿarrāf (diviner), or anyone who makes a claim contrary to the Book, the Sunnah and the consensus of the Muslim community.
How the passages fit: Soundly transmitted extraordinary graces of the saints are accepted, but the claims of soothsayers and diviners are not endorsed. An unusual occurrence alone does not prove truth.
Application: A reported karāmah calls for authentic transmission and conformity with revealed guidance. Extraordinary claims cannot override the Qur’an, Sunnah or consensus.
Limit of inference: Not every striking claim constitutes a karāmah, and its details still require verification.
