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?

And is knowing the miracles of Allah’s righteous servants among the issues that every Muslim must learn?
