Is it correct to describe strange matters as a mu'jizah (a prophetic miracle), or are miracles exclusive to the prophets?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Say: May Allah reward you. Is it correct for us to say, "This is a mu'jizah (a prophetic miracle)," when we see something strange or something out of the ordinary, or is it exclusive to the prophets (peace and blessings be upon them)?

Answer:
The term mu'jizah (a prophetic miracle) is not used except for the prophets; it does not apply to anyone else. As for these, it is an exaggeration when people say, "This is a mu'jizah (a prophetic miracle)"; these are exaggerations in speech. Yes.
