Is one who is granted a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person), even a small one, considered one of the awliya (close friends of Allah)?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Does it necessarily follow that everyone who has a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person), even a small one, is one of the awliya (close friends of Allah)? If it is established that it is a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person), if it is established that it is a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person), then this indicates that he is one of the awliya (close friends of Allah). You will not find a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person) except in the hand of a wali (close friend of Allah) from among the awliya (close friends of Allah). But not everything is a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person).
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
It is the thing that is extraordinary, this is the karamah, yes.
