Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:

Answer:
You do not see what has died; there is no action for a person in it, meaning there is no action for a person in it. Rather, it is from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), who brings it about[Al-Baqarah 2:90] by His hand [Al-Baqarah 2:90] for a wisdom. It is not permissible for a person to strive for it, nor to seek it out, nor to ask for it.
The one who seeks them and requests them, this is proof that he wants to be arrogant over people and wants to have a distinction over people. This is not a profession; karamat are not a profession. Rather, they are from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), who brings them about upon whomever He wills of His servants by His decree. The righteous predecessors, the Companions, the Tabi'un, and those who followed them, did not concern themselves with seeking karamat, nor did they worship Allah in order to obtain karamat; rather, they wanted the Face of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.

How wretched is that for which they sold themselves - that they would disbelieve in what Allah has revealed through [their] outrage that Allah would send down His favor upon whom He wills from among His servants. So they returned having [earned] wrath upon wrath. And for the disbelievers is a humiliating punishment.
عَلَىٰwhom He wills from among His servants
