Is it permissible to seek blessing from the sweat or other things of a living scholar?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to seek blessing from the sweat or other things of a living scholar?

Answer:
One does not seek blessing from sweat except the sweat of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Sweat, saliva, and hair are specific to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and the virtue of wudu' is specific to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). As for others, no. The Companions did not seek blessing from the sweat of Abu Bakr, 'Umar, or 'Uthman, even though they are the best of the nation. They did not seek blessing from their sweat. This is specific to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
