The Ruling on Seeking Blessing from a Trace of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on one who seeks blessing from something he believes to be a trace of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in our time, such as those who seek blessing from his hair or his robe?

Answer:
This is a lie. His hair does not exist to this day, nor does his robe, (peace and blessings be upon him). When they bring a robe from a Bedouin or from someone else and say, "This is the robe of the Messenger," or hair from an animal or a human and say, "This is the hair," this is a lie. It is all a lie. Nothing from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) remains to this day. This is all a lie. And even if it were found, a part that has separated from his body (peace and blessings be upon him) with certainty, one may seek blessing from it, because he is blessed (peace and blessings be upon him). They used to seek blessing from his sweat, his saliva, and his clothes (peace and blessings be upon him). But this was only during his lifetime (peace and blessings be upon him). As for after his death, his physical traces ceased. As for his spatial traces, where he sat, passed by, or prayed, one does not seek blessing from them, because this leads to shirk (associating partners with Allah). This is an excess, and it leads to shirk. The Companions did not do this, except Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and they did not agree with him on this. Except what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended specifically for worship, what he did not intend for worship, like Masjid Quba, the Prophet's Mosque, and the Sacred Mosque. If one intends the place for the sake of worship therein, then this is what is intended, and one prays in it and follows the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in it, because it is a blessed place. As for the things he did coincidentally and without intention, where he stopped during travel, or took shelter under a tree, or sat under the Tree of the Pledge of Allegiance solely for the purpose of making the pledge, these are not to be sought for blessing. Or he sat in the Cave of Thawr to hide from the disbelievers, or sat in the Cave of Hira before the revelation to distance himself from the polytheists and the worship of idols, and to devote himself to the worship of Allah. These were not done by the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) with intention, but only for the sake of necessity.
So these are not to be hidden, nor is one to go to them, nor seek blessing from them. The Companions did not do that, and they are the most knowledgeable of the community about what is lawful and what is forbidden, what is prescribed and what is prohibited. So we do not do anything that the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do, and that they did not precede us in. Because they are more aware of the objectives of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and more aware of what is lawful and what is forbidden, because they learned from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and accompanied him. They greeted him, so they are the ones who know the prescribed things and the things that are not prescribed. Yes.
