Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I heard the Sufis citing the story of 'Umar, in which he said, "O Sariyah! The mountain," as evidence for Sufi unveiling (kashf). What is the response to them?

Answer:
We do not know this Sufi unveiling (kashf). This is not Sufi unveiling (kashf). This is a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person) from Allah for 'Umar, due to the need of the people. You have heard that a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person) does not occur except for the need of the Muslims or for a proof in the religion. What happened with 'Umar was for the need of the Muslims, because the enemy had exhausted them. So Allah inspired 'Umar to call out, and his voice reached the commander, and the Muslims benefited from it. This is among the karamahs (miracles granted to righteous persons). Yes.
