Is it obligatory for an ordinary person who has learned a religious issue (such as the miracles [karamat] of Allah’s righteous servants [awliya’]) to propagate it? And to whom should he propagate it? Does propagation include all his acquaintances, or is it limited to those who ask him? What is the ruling on one who conceals knowledge out of laziness? And is knowing the miracles of Allah’s righteous servants among the issues that every Muslim must learn?
