وَالْوَلِيُّ هُوَ الْعَارِفُ بِاللّٰهِ تَعَالَى وَصِفَاتِهِ
A walī knows Allah Most High and His attributes.
Maʿrifah is not a claim to spectacles or hidden information; it is grounded in sound belief and devoted recognition of Allah, with consequences for conduct.
A widely reported wonder does not automatically establish its subject as a walī. Religious belief and upright character remain more fundamental criteria.
