Seeking Blessing by Touching People of Virtue

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Al-Shawkani (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned in it that it is prescribed to seek blessing by touching people of virtue, based on the confirmation of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) of that.

Answer:
No, this is a generalization without valid evidence. This is specific to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); it is not for every person of virtue. This is specific to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), because the Companions did not seek blessing from their most excellent one, Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him). This was only during the lifetime of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
Even after the death of the Messenger, they did not seek blessing from his grave or his chamber. This is not permissible. This is specific to the Messenger, regarding the body of the Messenger or what separated from his body, and this was during his lifetime (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
