לִפְעָמִים הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ עוֹשֶׂה מוֹפְתִים עַל־יְדֵי בַּעֲלֵי הַפּוֹסְקִים, בִּבְחִינַת (ד"ה א טז): מֹפְתָיו וּמִשְׁפְּטֵי פִיהוּ; שֶׁעַל־יְדֵי מִשְׁפְּטֵי פִיהוּ, שֶׁפּוֹסֵק שֶׁיִּהְיֶה כָּךְ, נַעֲשֶׂה מוֹפֵת.

Occasionally, God works miracles through the master decisors of Halakhah, as in “His miracles and His pronouncement of judgments” (1 Chronicles 16:12). “His pronouncement of judgments”—his issuing a ruling that it should be so—brings about a miracle.

כִּי מֵחֲמַת שֶׁנִּתְקַבֵּל לְבַעַל־פּוֹסֵק, וּכְשֶׁפּוֹסֵק בְּאִסּוּר וְהֶתֵּר וְכַיּוֹצֵא, מְקַבְּלִין דַּעְתּוֹ, כְּמוֹ־כֵן כְּשֶׁפּוֹסֵק בְּאֵיזֶה עִנְיָן, מְקַבְּלִין דַּעְתּוֹ, וְנַעֲשִׂין מוֹפְתִים עַל־יָדוֹ.

Having been recognized as an adjudicator, his opinion is accepted when he issues a ruling in matters of prohibited-and-permitted and the like. It is the same when he issues a decision on any matter. His opinion is accepted and miracles are performed through him.

וְזֶהוּ בְּחִינַת הַמּוֹפְתִים שֶׁמְּסַפְּרִין מֵהַגְּאוֹנִים שֶׁהָיוּ בַּדּוֹרוֹת שֶׁלְפָנֵינוּ:

This relates to the miracles which people tell about the leading sages of previous generations.
