The ruling on seeking blessing from vessels attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: May Allah prolong your life in His obedience. In some countries, they place certain vessels in museums and claim that they belong to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Is this true? And is it permissible to seek blessing from them?
The Shaykh:
If a vessel belonged to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), who proves this? Who proves that this vessel belongs to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)? This is lying about the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). We are commanded to follow him, not to seek blessing from his relics (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes, seeking blessing is permissible from things that separated from him (peace and blessings be upon him), such as sweat, saliva, hair, and clothes, as recorded in the hadith. Yes, this is what people seek blessing from, because it is reported that the Companions sought blessing from these things. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to distribute the hair from his head when he shaved it at the Jamarat during the Farewell Pilgrimage, giving it to those present so they could seek blessing from it. This is specific to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) from what separated from his noble body (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
Did anything remain of this after the Prophet? Nothing remained. This is all lies. Who proves any of these things? They say this is the Prophet’s cloak, this is the Prophet’s staff, this and that. It is all lies. This vessel that the Prophet drank from, yes.
