The Ruling on Seeking Blessing from the Remnants of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: Some people claim that there are certain remnants of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in some countries, such as swords, vessels, and the like. Is it permissible to seek blessing from any of these?
Answer:
Allah commanded us to follow the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and to take him as our model. The Messenger did not leave us a sword or a garment; he left us the Book and the Sunnah.Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3788Sahih (Darussalam) The Book of Allah and my Sunnah; this is what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) left for us.
As for the fact that he left us a sword, left us a garment, left us hair, left us [such things], there is no benefit for us in them, especially to the point of exaggerating in them. Also, most of them are fabricated and not authentic. Most of them are fabricated. They are not authentic. If there had been a benefit for the Ummah in their preservation, they would have been preserved. But there is no benefit for the Ummah in their preservation. The benefit lies in the preservation of the Book and the Sunnah and following the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).[Ali 'Imran 3:31]. [Ali 'Imran 3:31].
So what is required is to follow the Messenger.[Al-Ahzab 33:21] This is what is required. As for us turning to the relics of the Messenger, his hair, his sword, and so on, this has no connection to us and no benefit for us. Yes, and this also leads to shirk (associating partners with Allah). They say, "This is the sword of the Messenger," and they seek blessing from it, believing that it benefits and harms, and so on. It leads to shirk and exaggeration regarding the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.

If you should love Allah, then follow me, [so] Allah will love you
إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُand forgive you your sins
وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْSo what is required is to follow the Messenger.
There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern
