Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is it established by consensus that nothing remains of the separated relics of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) after the era of the Companions? I mean his separated relics, such as his hair, or some of his clothes, or his vessels, and the like?
Answer:
Bring us something of his vessels, or of his hair, or of his clothes, may Allah’s prayers and blessings be upon him. Who says that this is his hair, or this is his garment, or this is his vessel? We have no certainty about this matter. Also, these things do not last for this duration and these centuries. They do not last for these fourteen centuries. Does hair remain? Does a garment remain? These things do not remain. The Sunnah of Allah has decreed that these things perish; bones perish and the body perishes. How can these things remain?
There is no need for such things. The one who wants Paradise and the pleasure of Allah should act according to the Sunnah of the Messenger. Indeed, I have left among you that if you hold onto it, you will not go astray: the Book of Allah and His Sunnah. This is present. 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says:Sunan Abi Dawud 2762Sahih (Al-Albani) The will of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) that is on his seal ring: let him read the words of Allah the Exalted: [Al-An'am 6:151] until the words of Allah the Exalted: [Al-An'am 6:153] three verses.
We do not need the garment or the hair. We have the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.

من أراد أن ينظر إلىSay, "Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited to you.
قُلْ تَعَالَوْا أَتْلُ مَا حَرَّمَ رَبُّكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْThis has He instructed you that you may become righteous.
ذَٰلِكُمْ وَصَّاكُم بِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَWe do not need the garment or the hair. We have the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
