Surely Jesus was not killed; Rather, God took him to Himself, who is all-powerful and all-knowing.” (Nasa, verses 157-158)

He said to him: How long did you delay? He said: One day or part of a day. Day. He said: [No] but your stay was for one hundred years, look at your food and drink, see there has been no change? Look at your ass [how it is disintegrated] this is so that We may make you a sign [in the resurrection] for the people! Now look at the bones [of your chariot] how he raised them to We graft, then we cover it with flesh?! When [these facts] were revealed to him, he said, “I know that God is capable of everything.”

It is noteworthy that in the above 21 amazing stories, none of the miracles of the first prophets have been mentioned, such as the resurrection of the dead by Christ (pbuh) or the miracle of the staff of Moses (pbuh) or the breaking of the moon (the moon splitting into two halves by the Prophet of Islam).
And if you are careful, you can find more supernatural wonders in the words of Almighty God, or as the modern people say, metaphysics.
Therefore, with regard to the above, is it the claim of healing the patient by the Shia imams or observing the merits of the saints of God who, according to the authentic narration of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), who said: The scholars of my Ummah are higher than the prophets of Bani Israel. It can be doubtful. Is it other than this that man is a body and his spirit and soul are emanations from God’s spirit (nafakhto Man Ruhi) – do we easily accept that an Indian ascetic does extraordinary things in his body, but a guardian of God who is connected to God cannot walk on earth? (traveling a long distance in one moment) or prophesy something.
What if when the eye becomes a god, it sees things that the earthly eye cannot see
(Someone was talking about the teacher Nishabori whom Imam Khomeini cared for. One day we were riding, he suddenly raised his head and said, “Angels lifted up the souls of two people, and he immediately became silent.”
Or someone was explaining that it was near the morning call to prayer, I was looking at the sky, one of the scholars was next to me and said it is the morning call to prayer, don’t you see that the morning angels are coming down.
Or the ear hears sounds that the earthly ear cannot hear. (Allameh Tabatabai’s wife tells that once I saw Allameh sitting and not sleeping. I asked him why, he said that I want to sleep, but the call of prayer on the door and the wall embarrasses me and I am forced to sit and say dhikr) .
Or when some scholars discuss the interpretation of the softening of iron in David’s hands, and some say that maybe God taught David how to melt iron, otherwise, how can iron be soft in someone’s hands? One of the scholars of the Ahl al-Karamat gets angry at this and tears up a congregation that was in the place like paper and says: Gentlemen, I am an insignificant servant of God, I did this with God’s permission, how can a prophet of God not be able to do this.
In short, Shia does not exaggerate. There are all these Karamats, even much more than what we have heard. But we must pay attention to two issues, firstly, many people from Karamat are very secretive and sometimes issues about them are leaked and others are informed.
Because they don’t need attention like us, and they pay attention to a source that doesn’t need all of them
Second, if this rust has clouded our hearts and we are unable to believe things. It is not the reason for the absence of those virtues. We should seek to clean the rust in our hearts, not to deny the issue. The most important thing is that we do not accept every word from anyone, we must have sufficient knowledge. We have a narration that a believer is clever.
