What is the difference between a karamah and other supernatural occurrences?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the difference between a karamah and other supernatural occurrences?

Answer:
If a supernatural occurrence happens through the hand of a Prophet, it is a mu'jizah (a prophetic miracle). If it happens through the hand of a wali (close friend of Allah), it is a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person). If it happens through the hand of a disbeliever, it is a satanic act.
