200 FAQ On Muslims Belief by Hafiz Ibn Ahmed Al Hakami

A--- The wondrous acts attributed to Auliya’ are real and true. A wondrous act is an unusual thing that is done unwillingly at the hands of Auliya’. It is not. accompanied with challenge, and Allah the Almighty may do it on their hands without their own knowledge. Such as the story of the People of the Cave, the People of the Rock, and the story of Juraij.

Among the wondrous acts that took place at the hands of the companions of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) were: what happened to Abu Bakr during the Apostasy Wars, the reach of `Umar's call to Sariyah while he was standing on the pulpit (in Madinah) and Sariyah was in Sham (Syria), `Umar's letter to the Nile of Egypt causing it to flow, the horses of Al- `Alaa' Ibn Al-Hadrami on which he (and his men) crossed the sea during the conquest of Bahrain, and performing the prayer by Abu Muslim AlKhawalani in the fire set for him by Al-Aswad Al-`Ansi.

Along with so many others that happened during the life of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and after his death for His honorable companions and their followers till the Day of Resurrection. In fact, all these were miracles for Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) for they did not attain this dignity but by following and sticking firmly to him. So, if any miracle or unusual thing appeared on the hand of one who is not adherent to Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him), it is thus a trial, sorcery and not a miracle or a wondrous act, and he is indeed one of the Auliya' of Satan. May Allah grant us refuge against him.
