الشرح المختصر
"Kharq" (supernatural act): If something supernatural is done by a prophet in the context of a challenge, it is a "mu‘jizah" (miracle), but if it happens before his prophethood, then it is an "irhās" (indication to his prophethood); if it happens to one of the righteous believers (a friend of Allah), then it is a "karāmah" (honor) for him granted by Allah; otherwise, it is either sorcery, allurement, or juggling.
التعريف اللغوي المختصر
