Seeking Blessing from Other Than the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)

Question:
What is the first thing between the extremism that is commanded? The extremism that is commanded is that one sees the people of the path, and that they do not believe in this Shari'ah?

Answer:
I do not say seeking harm, no partner. Except seeking blessing from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as we have previously explained to you. As for the rest of creation, no one seeks blessing from any of them; rather, you seek blessings from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). So we do not seek blessing from any created being unless there is evidence. The right of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is specific to him, but as for the other created beings, one does not seek blessing from a stone, a tree, a crack, or anything else, not even the Ka'bah. The Ka'bah is not a source of blessing; rather, one circumambulates it and prays facing it. As for a person intentionally using it or attaching himself to it, saying, "May Allah bless this," this is not permissible. There is no evidence from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding this. Placing the stone is an act of worship for Allah, not for the stone itself. This is worship for Allah, because Allah commanded us to do so, so we carry out the command of Allah. The stone is one of the symbols of Allah, and placing it is an act of worship for Allah, not worship of the stone.
