Al-Yafi'i preserves a classical account about Shaykh Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani, may Allah have mercy on him, and a woman who entrusted her spiritually inclined son to his training. When she later found the young man weakened by hunger and night worship, eating barley bread, she objected after seeing the bones of an eaten chicken before the Shaykh. The report says the Shaykh placed his hand on the bones and addressed the chicken to rise by Allah's permission, whereupon it stood up whole and cried out. Ibn Hajar al-Haytami later cites the same revival report in his discussion of the Shaykh.

The Qur'an presents the Flood of Prophet Nuh عليه السلام as both divine judgment on persistent rejection and divine salvation for Nuh and those who believed with him. Nuh was commanded to build the ark under divine observation and revelation, take aboard the instructed passengers, and then endured a flood in which water poured from the sky and burst from the earth. The believers were saved, Nuh's refusing son was overtaken by the water, and the ark finally came to rest on al-Judi after the waters receded. Later reports add exact dimensions, passenger counts and voyage details, but those are not direct Qur'anic facts.

A classical report says that a woman repeatedly looked in on Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas, may Allah be pleased with him, despite his warning her to stop. The report says that she later looked in while Sa'd was performing ablution, after which he uttered the phrase “shaha wajhuki.” The same report then states that her face turned toward the back of her head. Ibn Abi al-Dunya preserves the earliest checked form and al-Lalaka'i includes it among Sa'd's karamat, but the principal route passes through Mina, mawla of Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf, whom major hadith critics regarded as abandoned or unreliable.

Sahih Muslim preserves the dispute in which Arwa accused Sa'id ibn Zayd, may Allah be pleased with him, over land and brought the matter before Marwan ibn al-Hakam. Sa'id cited the Prophet's peace and blessings be upon him warning against unjustly taking land and prayed conditionally that, if Arwa was lying, Allah would blind her and make her grave in her house or cause her to die on her own land. The same authentic report records that she later became blind, said that Sa'id's supplication had reached her, and eventually fell into a well or pit on the property and died there. Sahih al-Bukhari independently confirms the land-dispute and Prophetic-warning context.

An early report says that Abu al-Darda may Allah be pleased with him spoke about an approaching fitna and was asked by a man from al-Sukun what would become of their swords. Abu al-Darda replied that he feared that if the man carried his swords into that fitna, his eye would be injured and his tooth broken. The report says that the man later attended Siffin, where both injuries occurred, and afterward remarked that one of Abu al-Darda's predictions would have been enough for him. Al-Fasawi preserves an early form and al-Lalaka'i includes the same core among Abu al-Darda's karamat, but the evidence is essentially one route family and contains a Hariz/Jarir textual variant.

Classical Sunni sources preserve an athar in which Salman al-Farsi, may Allah be pleased with him, visited a believing friend near death and asked the Angel of Death to be gentle with him. A response was then reported saying, “I am gentle with every believer.” The report has early classical transmission and al-Busiri judged the narrators of one route trustworthy. Authentic Prophetic evidence from al-Bara ibn Azib independently gives a strong and directly relevant background for mercy and ease at the departure of a believer’s soul.

Classical Sunni sources preserve a report that a pot or vessel associated with Abu al-Darda, may Allah be pleased with him, produced an audible sound of tasbih, with Salman al-Farsi, may Allah be pleased with him, connected to the scene. Al-Lalaka'i preserves a Khaythama route and later places the event among the karamat of Abu al-Darda and Salman, while al-Dhahabi reproduces that form and explicitly judges the report sound. A fuller Ibn Abi Shaybah version adds that the pot overturned and returned without spilling, but that route is disconnected. A separate plate or bowl version also exists through Qays ibn Abi Hazim, yet it is hearsay at the Companion link and should remain distinct from the pot report.

Early and classical Sunni sources preserve a report that the manager of Anas ibn Malik's land complained that it had become dry and needed water. Anas went out, prayed, and supplicated; a cloud then gathered and rain fell over the land until his cistern was filled. When the extent of the rain was checked, the reports say it had not gone beyond his land except slightly, or had not gone beyond it at all. Ibn Sa'd preserves an early route, and al-Dhahabi records a second similar route and explicitly calls the event a clear karamah established through two chains.

Classical Sunni sources preserve reports that al-Bara ibn Malik may Allah be pleased with him was among those whose oath to Allah was fulfilled. In a major battle against the Persians, the Muslims asked him to swear by his Lord for victory, and he prayed that Allah grant them victory over the enemy. The report says the enemy was defeated; in a later critical encounter al-Bara again prayed for victory and added that Allah join him with His Prophet, after which victory came and al-Bara was killed as a martyr. Al-Tirmidhi grades the general virtue report hasan gharib, and al-Hakim grades the battle route sahih al-isnad.

Early and classical Sunni sources preserve reports that al-Ala ibn al-Hadrami may Allah be pleased with him and his force reached a place where water was unavailable and the army suffered severe thirst. Al-Ala prayed two rak'ahs and asked Allah to provide water. One early route says the group soon found flowing rain-water, while an Abu Hurayra parallel says a cloud appeared and poured rain so the people and their mounts could drink. The reports also preserve that the water was later gone, but the two route variants should remain distinct because their wording and chain quality differ.

Early and classical Sunni sources preserve reports that al-Ala ibn al-Hadrami may Allah be pleased with him invoked Allah when entering or crossing the sea. Ibn Abi Shaybah preserves an early report with part of his supplication, while fuller Abu Hurayra routes say that al-Ala and his army crossed the water together after invoking Allah. Those fuller versions add that the water barely wet, or did not wet beyond, the lower parts of the camels' hoof-coverings. The early prayer-and-crossing core has meaningful support, but the fuller army and minimal-wetting details depend on routes with material limitations, so the event is best included with caution.

Companion karamahHistorical outcome
Classical sources preserve reports that al-Ala ibn al-Hadrami may Allah be pleased with him died during travel and was buried by his companions. The companions are then said to have returned to the burial place, after which the grave or body could no longer be found. Ibn Sa'd preserves an early biographical form, while al-Tabarani, Abu Nu'aym, and al-Lalaka'i preserve related versions. Every checked route for the extraordinary disappearance has material weakness, and the sources differ over why the companions returned to the grave, so the event remains a low-confidence reported karamah requiring editorial review.
