Is thinking about something and it coming true, most of the time, considered aحديث (hadith) from God?

What occurs in the souls by way of inspiration, unveiling (kashf), and the like may be psychological, or its source may be satanic, or it may be angelic. Psychological unveiling is due to the soul's weak connection with the body, either through spiritual discipline (riyadah) or otherwise. Satanic unveiling comes from the jinn and occurs to disbelievers, soothsayers, and charlatans. As for angelic unveiling, it is the noblest of categories, and it is a karamah (miraculous favor) from Allah to His believing servant. The true karamah is adherence to uprightness (istiqamah), piety towards Allah, obedience to Him, and avoiding whatever displeases Him.
