A classical report preserved by al-Lalaka'i says that Abu Qilaba encountered a blind man in Syria whose hands and legs were gone. The man claimed that he had entered upon Uthman ibn Affan, may Allah be pleased with him, during the siege of his house, struck Uthman’s wife, and then heard Uthman pray that Allah remove his hands and legs, blind him, and enter him into Hell. The man said that the physical parts of that prayer were later fulfilled and interpreted his condition as an answer to Uthman’s supplication. Al-Lalaka'i presents the story among Uthman’s karamat, but the transmission chain is weak and later repetitions do not provide a strong independent route.

Companion karamahDivine punishmentHistorical outcome
Classical Sunni sources preserve a report that a man called Jahjah al-Ghifari took a staff from Uthman ibn Affan, may Allah be pleased with him, while Uthman was on the pulpit and broke it. The same report family says that an affliction called al-akila struck Jahjah afterward, and one connected Ibn Umar route states that he died from it before a year had passed. Al-Lalaka'i places the incident among the karamat of Uthman, while Abu Nu'aym also preserves a connected Ibn Umar version under signs associated with Uthman. The exact body location varies between routes, and al-akila should remain an untranslated historical disease term rather than be equated with a modern diagnosis.

A classical report says that during a severe drought in the time of Umar ibn al-Khattab may Allah be pleased with him, Umar led a prayer for rain, turned his cloak, asked Allah for forgiveness and rain, and rain fell before the people left. The same weak report says that Bedouins later arrived and described hearing a voice from a cloud saying that relief had come to Abu Hafs. Authentic hadith independently confirms communal istisqa under Umar and the Prophetic practice of two rak'ahs and turning the cloak, but it does not authenticate this exact cloud-voice episode.

Sahih al-Bukhari preserves Ibn Umar's statement that when Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, expressed a judgment about something, events repeatedly turned out as he had thought. The same report gives a concrete example: Umar suspected that a passing Muslim man had served as his people's soothsayer before Islam, and the man confirmed it. A separate sahih Prophetic report describes Umar in connection with the muhaddathun, while Ibn Hajar explains this as inspired or truthful insight without prophethood. Supporting reports also preserve several famous instances in which Umar's judgments corresponded with later Qur'anic revelation, without establishing infallibility or revelation for Umar himself.

A report in Malik’s al-Muwatta records that, during his final illness, Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, told Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, that the unborn child carried by Bint Kharija was, in his judgment, a girl, saying: “araha jariyatan” — “I think she is a girl.” An early recension of the Muwatta adds that a girl was later born, while al-Lalaka’i identifies her as Umm Kulthum and explicitly treats the fulfilled intuition as a karamah. The report should remain a fulfilled intuition, not be presented as Prophetic revelation, independent knowledge of the unseen, or a medical prediction.

Sahih al-Bukhari preserves the full story of Hajar and the infant Isma‘il in the barren valley of Mecca. Ibrahim left them near the Sacred House with a small supply of dates and water. When Hajar learned that this was Allah’s command, she trusted that Allah would not neglect them. After the water was exhausted, she searched desperately between Safa and Marwah seven times. At the place of Zamzam an angel struck or dug the ground with his heel or wing until water appeared. Hajar drank, nursed her child, and was reassured that Allah would not neglect the people of that place. Later Jurhum discovered the water and settled nearby with her permission.

Sahih al-Bukhari preserves an extraordinary event in which Allah publicly cleared Prophet Musa of a harmful bodily accusation. Musa was exceptionally modest and bathed in seclusion. Some among Bani Israel turned that modesty into suspicion and attributed a bodily defect to him. During one private bath, Musa placed his clothes on a stone; the stone moved away carrying them, and Musa pursued it until the accusation was publicly disproved. Bukhari explicitly connects this vindication with Qur’an 33:69, while a second sahih route independently confirms the moving-stone core.

The Qur’an recounts a striking request from the disciples of Prophet Isa عليه السلام: they asked for a table spread from heaven so they could eat from it, have their hearts reassured, know that Isa had spoken truthfully, and become witnesses to the sign. Isa first told them to fear Allah, then prayed that the table become a feast for the first and last of them, a sign from Allah, and provision. Allah answered that He would send it down, while attaching an exceptional warning against disbelief afterward. Major classical exegetes understand the divine response as the actual descent of the table.

The Qur’an tells of believing youths who stood firm against their people’s worship of other deities, withdrew to a cave, and prayed for mercy and right guidance. Allah answered with extraordinary protection: He caused them to sleep for many years, preserved them in the cave, and later awakened them. Thinking they had stayed only a day or part of a day, they sent one companion with a silver coin to the city for food and warned him to remain hidden because discovery could mean stoning or forced return to the old religion. Their eventual discovery became a public sign that Allah’s promise is true and that the Hour is beyond doubt.

Among the signs Prophet Isa عليه السلام presented to the Children of Israel, the Qur’an records an unusual form of knowledge: he would inform them about what they ate and what they stored inside their houses. The same verse places this knowledge beside his other prophetic signs and says that in these matters was a sign for those willing to believe. Classical tafsir explains the household information as private matters Isa had not ordinarily witnessed and which Allah enabled him to know, while later narrative expansions are not part of the Qur’an’s explicit wording.

The Qur’an presents Prophet Isa giving life to the dead as one of the clearest signs of his mission to the Children of Israel. In Ali ‘Imran 3:49, Isa explicitly says that he gives life to the dead by Allah’s permission. Al-Ma’idah 5:110 later recalls the same act as one of Allah’s favors and again repeats the divine-permission boundary. The miracle therefore supports prophethood without implying independent power. The surrounding verses connect these signs to obedience to Allah’s messenger, worship of Allah alone, and the straight path.

The Qur’an presents Prophet Isa’s healing of al-akmah and al-abras as clear signs given in his mission to the Children of Israel. In Ali ‘Imran, the healings appear among extraordinary evidences that he announces as coming from his Lord. Al-Ma’idah later recalls the same acts as divine favors and repeatedly states that they occurred by Allah’s permission. The signs are not presented as independent healing power: they support Isa’s prophetic call to obey Allah’s messenger and worship Allah alone.
