Question:
This questioner says: The Sufis cite this noble verse from Surat Yusuf as evidence. Allah the Exalted said:[Yusuf 12:93]
Answer:
This is a prophetic miracle among the miracles of the prophets. This is a miracle that is not general for everyone. If you were to bring a blind man and cast your shirt over him, or even cast the clothes of all people over him, it would not open his eyes. This is a miracle for a messenger among the messengers. It is not general for everyone.
