Abstract
The Wahhabis deny the ability of saints to do the supernatural affairs, weather being alive of after their death. They believe that even at the purgatory stage, the saints cannot do supernatural affairs independently. While, all know that the power of saints is taken from God, and if Allah does not give permission nobody can do supernatural affairs. Besides, there are so many reasons from the Holy Quran, Hadiths and history, indicating that the saints can do supernatural affairs and in the purgatory stage know what is going in this world, they can do supernatural affairs with their own will. We must know that those believing in the ability of saints maintain that this ability is not independent from God's power. So, considering this act as Shirk is baseless.
