Umar Ibn Khattab & Salafi Satanic Tauheed

Salafi Tauheed is nothing more than the Foolish Conjecture of Umar Ibn Khattab, which was even corrected by Maula Ali (as). Salafies are propagating the following practice of Umar again and again and again...
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 26, Number 667)
Narrated ‘Abis bin Rabia:
‘Umar came near the Black Stone and kissed it and said, "No doubt, I know that you are a stone AND CAN NEITHER BENEFIT ANYONE NOR HARM ANYONE. Had I not seen Allah’s Apostle kissing you I would not have kissed you."
And today, this distorted version of tradition is heavily propagated by Salafies, while it goes in favour of their Aqaeed.

Complete tradition is like this:
Umar while visiting the Kaba, said before the Hajar al-aswad, "You cannot do anything! But I kiss you in order to follow Rasulullah ('alaihi 's-salam)." 'Ali (as) said upon hearing this, "Rasulullah (saw) said, 'On the Day of Judgment, the Hajar al-aswad will intercede for people. And 'Umar thanked 'Ali (as).'"
This hadith is reported by at-Thirmidhi, an-Nasai, al-Baihaki, at-Tabarani and al-Bukhari in his History.

Therefore, Mawla Ali (as) made it very clear that Respecting Sh'air Allah will bring us Benefits, and disrespecting them will bring harm to us. And Umar Ibn Khattab also understood this thing. But those, who are still unable to understand this even till today, they are only the so called Salafies.
Salafies still try their best to hide this complete tradition today, and if some one still quote the whole version, then they try to negate it by making a lot of lame excuses. Before answering their lame excuses, firstly let us see the different versions of this complete tradition. Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani quoted this complete version in his book "Ganiatul Talibeen", in the following words:
Abu Saeed Khudri Narrated:
I went to Hajj along with Umar Ibn Khattab during initial period of his Caliphate. Umar Ibn Khattab came to mosque and stood near Hajar-e-Aswad and then addressed it with these words: "I know you are only a stone, which can neither benefit, nor harm. And had I not seen Rasool Allah (saw) kissing you, I would have never kissed you. Upon this Hadhrat Ali (as) said: "Don't say so. This stone can both bring harm and benefit to you, but harm and benefit are both with the orders of Allah. Had you read what has been written in Quran and understood it, then you would have never uttered these words in front of us."Umar Ibn Khattab said: "O Abul Hassan, then please you explain yourself how Quran has defined this stone?" Hadhrat Ali replied: "When Allah (swt) created human beings from the progeny of Adam (as), that time HE made them witness over themselves and asked them if I am not your Lord? Upon this all of them confirmed that you are our creator. Thus Allah (swt) wrote this confirmation and called this stone and put this into it. And this stone will give witness on the day of judgment if people have fulfilled their promise or not.
Upon this Umar said: "O Abul Hassan! Allah has made your chest the treasure of knowledge."

Muttaqi al-Hindi also narrated this same tradition in his book "Kanzul 'Amal" in following words:


12521- عن أبي سعيد الخدري قال: حججنا مع عمر بن الخطاب، فلما دخل الطواف استقبل الحجر فقال: إني لأعلم أنك حجر لا تضر ولا تنفع، ولولا أني رأيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقبلك ما قبلتك، ثم قبله، فقال علي بن أبي طالب: يا أمير المؤمنين إنه يضر وينفع، قال: بم؟ قال: بكتاب الله عز وجل قال: وأين ذلك من كتاب الله؟ قال: قال الله تعالى: { وإذ أخذ ربك من بني آدم من ظهورهم ذريتهم} إلى قوله: بلى، خلق الله آدم ومسح على ظهره فقررهم بأنه الرب وأنهم العبيد وأخذ عهودهم ومواثيقهم وكتب ذلك في رق (في رق: والرق بالفتح: الجلد يكتب فيه والكسر لغة قليلة فيه وقرأ بها بعضهم في قوله تعالى: "في رق منشور".انتهى.(1/321) المصباح المنير. ب) وكان لهذا الحجر عينان ولسانان فقال: افتح فاك ففتح فاه، فألقمه ذلك الرق، فقال: اشهد لمن وافاك بالموافاة يوم القيامة وإني أشهد لسمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: يؤتى يوم القيامة بالحجر الأسود وله لسان ذلق يشهد لمن استلمه بالتوحيد فهو يا أمير المؤمنين يضر وينفع، فقال عمر: أعوذ بالله أن أعيش في قوم لست فيهم يا أبا الحسن.

Abu Saeed Narrated:
We went for Hajj with Umar Ibn Khattab. When he started doing Tawaf, he addressed Hajar-e-Aswad and said: "I know that you are only a stone which can neither benefit nor harm. Had I not seen Rasool Allah (saw) kissing you, I would have never kissed you. Upon this Ali (ibn Abi Talib) said to Umar: "This stone can indeed benefit and harm." Umar asked him how is that. Ali (as) replied: "According to Book of Allah." Umar said to Ali (as): "Then show me too where it is written in Quran." Ali (as) said: "Allah (swt) says in Quran when he created human being from the progeny of Adam (as) and made them witness over themselves and asked them if I am not your creator? Upon this all of them confirmed it. Thus Allah wrote this confirmation. And this stone has two lips and two eyes and it opened it's mouth upon the order of Allah (swt) who put that confirmation in it and orderedto witness it to all those worshippers who come for Hajj. And I have heard it from Rasool Allah (saw): "This black stone will be brought on the day of judgement and it would be give with a tongue, which will witness for those who stayed upon Tauheed and who fulfilled their duties. Therefore, this stone can benefit and also harm." When Umar Ibn Khattab heard this, he said: "A'udo Billah (I seek Allah's refuge) that I have to live among people when O Abul Hassan, you are not present."
  • Kanzul 'Amal, by Muttaqi al-Hindi, fil Fadhail-e-Mecca (The number of this hadith is 12521 in "Al-Muhadith Software)
  • Abul Hassan al-Qatan in "Al-Tawalaat"
  • And Hakim quoted it in "Al-Mustadrak", vol. 1, page 457
And in "Kitab al-Hawi al-Kabir (book of Fiqh of Imam Shafi'i), this tradition has been recorded (Online Link):



الكتب » كتاب الحاوي الكبير» كتاب الحج» باب دخول مكة» مسألة إذا أراد الطواف فيجب أن يبتدئ بالحجر الأسود
 ودليلنا رواية محمد بن عوف  عن نافع  عن ابن عمر  قال : استقبل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الحجر ، فاستلمه في وضع شفتيه عليه يبكي طويلا ، فالتفت فإذا ه و بعمر يبكي ، فقال : ها هنا تسكب العبرات  وروى ابن شهاب  أن عمر بن الخطاب  رضي الله عنه قبل الحجر وقال : والله إني لأعلم أنك حجر لا تضر ولا تنفع ولولا أني رأيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقبلك ما قبلتك " فقال علي بن أبي طالب  أما إنه ينفع ويضر ، سمعت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول : إن الله تبارك وتعالى لما أخذ العهد على  آدم  وذريته ، أودعه في رق وفي هذا الحجر ، فهو يشهد لمن وافاه يوم القيامة ، فقال عمر  لا أحياني الله لمعضلة لا يكون لها ابن أبي طالب  حيا " قال الشافعي  ويقبل الحجر بلا تصويت ولا تطنين هكذا السنة فيه . 



We know that Salafies still try to escape using unfair means, and they still deny to accept this. So, in order to close these doors too for them, we quote the following hadith:



113 - باب مَا جَاءَ فِي الْحَجَرِ الأَسْوَدِ
976 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ جَرِيرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ خُثَيْمٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الْحَجَرِ ‏"‏ وَاللَّهِ لَيَبْعَثَنَّهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لَهُ عَيْنَانِ يُبْصِرُ بِهِمَا وَلِسَانٌ يَنْطِقُ بِهِ يَشْهَدُ عَلَى مَنِ اسْتَلَمَهُ بِحَقٍّ ‏" قَالَ اَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ

Qutaiba narrated from Jarir, who from Khusaim, who from Sa'eed bin Jubair, who from Ibn Abbas, who said that Rasool Allah (saw) said about Hajar-e-Aswad:
By Allah, Hajar-e-Aswad will be granted eyes on the day of judgement by Allah and also a tongue, which will give testimony in favour of those who behaved well with it.
Abu 'Isa said that this hadith is "Hasan".

Reference: Sunnan Tirmidhi, Book of Hajj

And if some one still denies benefiting powers of Hajar-e-Aswad, then know that Allah has put a seal upon his heart and no one can show him the right path except Allah (swt) Himself. At end, we are presenting the same tradition of Ali (as) telling Umar about Benefits of Hajar-e-Aswad from "Wasa'ilus Shia". Imam Abu Jaffar (as) said:


ذكره، عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام) ـ في حديث ـ قال: ثم ادن من الحجر واستلمه بيمينك.
((17843)) 13 ـ وعن محمد بن الحسن، عن الصفار، عن علي بن حسان الواسطي، عن عمه عبد الرحمن بن كثير الهاشمي، عن أبي عبدالله (عليه السلام) قال: مر عمر بن الخطاب على الحجر الاسود فقال: والله يا حجر إنا لنعلم أنك حجر لا تضر ولا تنفع إلا أنا رأينا رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) يحبك فنحن نحبك، فقال أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام): كيف يابن الخطاب ! فوالله ليبعثنه الله يوم القيامة وله لسان وشفتان، فيشهد لمن وافاه،


 Salafi Objections on this Hadith
While on one side this hadith is destroying the very base of Salafism, and on the other side it is proving that Ali Ibn Abi Talib (as) was really "Madinatul 'Ilm" (which is absolutely not accepted by Salafies, and they want to degrade Mawla Ali (as) to such a level that his preference over first 3 Khulafa cannot be established), therefore it became necessary upon them to deny this hadith by using lame excuses.
And the best weapon in their hands for this purpose is to start criticizing it's chain of narration, instead of looking at Matan (text). So, they did the same and their whole argument rests upon this argument that al-Dhahabi also quoted this hadith from al-Hakim, and then he criticized one narrator "Abi Haroon".
Answer 1:
Do Salafies think that Rasool Allah (saw) made his whole Ummah to indulge in a USELESS and POLYTHIESTIC act (i.e. to kiss a stone) till Qiyammah?
For us it has never been a question whether Mawla Ali (as) ever told this thing to Umar ibn Khattab or not, but we wonder how Umar Ibn Khattab dared to even think that Hajar-e-Aswad can neither benefit nor harm.
While there are hundreds of incidents from the life of Rasool Allah (saw), which were enough to prove that any thing, which is even single time touched by 'Awliya Allah (friends of Allah like prophets and angels), that thing becomed BLESSED.
For example, there are hundreds of Ahadith where Sahaba used to seek Barakah and Benefit from the Tabarukkat of Prophet (saw) e.g. his hairs, nails, saliva, sweat, water of ablution, robe etc.
Sahih Muslim, 1st Chapter of book of Clothing:
`Abd Allah said: She (Asma bint Abu Bakr) said: "Here is the cloak (jubba) of Allah's Messenger," and she brought out to me that cloak made of Persian cloth with a hem of (silk) brocade, and its sleeves bordered with (silk) brocade, and said: "This was Allah's Messenger's cloak with `A'isha until she died, then I got possession of it. The Apostle of Allah used to wear it, and we washed it for the sick so that they could seek cure thereby."
  • Can anyone still deny the witnesses of Ummul Momineen Ayesha and her sister Asma bint Abu Bakr that even the jubba of Rasool Allah [saww] was also able to benefit and cure the sick?
  • Did Ummul Momineen Hadhrat Ayesha and her sister Sahabia Asma bint Abu Bakr made that jubba of Rasool Allah [saww], a partner to Allah by seeking benefit through it?
  • Why didn't they asked Allah DIRECTLY for the cure from sicknesses?
  • Did they really sought help from that jubba in a Literal Sense that it had Absolute power to benefit them. Or they actually sought help from Allah, but from seeking help from jubba, they only meant that Barakah of Rasool Allah [saww] also includes in their request to Allah?

Very Important Rule Literal Approach vs. Hidden Intention

Even if the name of Allah was not mentioned by Aisha and Asma bint Abu Bakr, when they sought help from jubba of Rasool Allah [saww], but still all (including Salafi) believe that they didn't commit Shirk.
  • There are 2 ways to understand these kind of actions:
  • Literal Approach, which shows the Apparent (Dhahir) meaning, i.e. help was sought by the jubba.
  • Hidden Intention, which tells that asking of help by jubba was only in allegorical sense. But in reality, they were seeking help from Allah. And hidden intention is a thing, which always have to be given preference over literal approach.
Therefore we are wondering what Umar Ibn Khattab learnt during his whole life? Well, to be fair, Umar Ibn Khattab indeed corrected himself upon the advice of Mawla Ali (as). But we wonder more upon the Salafies of today who still believe that Hajar-e-Aswad can neither benefit nor harm, and issue fatwa of Shirk upon those Muslims who believe in Barakah of Hajar-e-Aswad.
Indeed Hajar-e-Aswad is among those Sh'air Allah, which has been kissed numerous times by a lot of Prophets. And that person is absolute Jahil who still believes that it cannot harm or benfit, even if he is Grand Mufti of Madina University. And look what Mawla Ali (as) has said:
"...Hadhrat Ali (as) said: "Don't say so, while it can harm and benefit, but all harm and benefit is according to orders of Allah..."
Then by Allah, this is Shia and Ahle Sunnah Aqeedah that 'Awliya Allah can indeed benefit Muslims by the permission of Allah (e.g. they can benefit Muslims through their Intercession by the permission of Allah).

Umm Salama used to seek help / benefit from Hairs of Rasool Allah [saww] against Diseases and against the Evil Eye

Bukhari narrates in his Sahih in the Book of Clothing, under the chapter entitled "What is mentioned about gray hair:

`Uthman bin `Abd Allah ibn Mawhab said, "My people sent me with a bowl of water to Umm Salama." Isra'il approximated three fingers indicating the small size of the container in which there was some hair of the Prophet. `Uthman added, "If any person suffered from evil eye or some other disease, he would send a vessel (containing water) to Umm Salama (and she would dip the Prophet's hair into it and it would be drunk). I looked into the container (that held the hair of the Prophet) and saw a few reddish hairs in it."
Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 72, Number 784
  • Can anyone still deny that Rasool Allah [saww] can benefit us?
  • Did Umm Salama become a Mushrik for not asking Allah DIRECTLY for health against disease and protection against evil eye?
  • Can anyone deny the existence of this rule? (Salafi don't deny it in case of Umm Salama and don't label her a Mushrika, but do deny it in our case and issue the fatwa of shirk against us)

More Prophetic Traditions on Tabarukkat and how they could Benefit us

(Taken from Book of Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri. Online Link).
It is a fact that the objects and articles associated with the righteous and the virtuous are an overflowing source of bounty and munificence. This is the reason that it was the usual practice of the Companions to preserve his relics and to draw benefits and blessings out of them. This proves that they offered them to Allah as instruments of mediation when they needed His help and assistance. Allah Himself has made reference to the relics of the prophets in the Holy Qur’ān. For example, the following Qur’ānic verse indicates the mode in which Banī Israel drew on the relics of the progeny of Mūsā (عليه السلام) and Hārūn (عليه السلام):
And their prophet told them: ‘a sign of his authority (being from Allah) is that there shall come to you the Ark of the covenant. In it there shall be an assurance of security (peace of mind) from your Lord and from the relics left by the family of Mūsā and Hārūn carried by angels. In this is a symbol for you if you indeed have faith.[1]
At another place in the Holy Qur’ān Allah has related the incident in which Ya‘qūb (عليه السلام) drew blessing from Yūsuf’s shirt:
‘Go with this my shirt and cast it over the face of my father; he will come to see clearly, and (then) come you to me together with all your family.’ And when the caravan left (Egypt), their father (Ya‘qūb) said (while sitting in Kan‘ān): ‘I do indeed scent the presence of Yūsuf if you do not think me a dotard on account of old age.’ They said: ‘By God! Truly you are in the same old drifting state of love.’ Then when the bearer of the good news came, he cast the shirt over Ya‘qūb’s face and instantaneously his eyesight returned. Ya‘qūb said: ‘Did I not say to you, I know from God that which you know not.’[2]
A study of the books on tradition and the Prophet’s life and conduct reveals that, in addition to relying on the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) for prayer, the Companions received blessings from him in various other ways. For example, they had their bodies touched with his hand; they themselves touched his body as a form of benediction; they blessed themselves with the water left over from his ablution and also with the water he used to wash his hands; and with his leftover food. Similarly, they received blessings from his sweat, from his saliva, from the mucus coming out of his nose, from his hair (which came off during his haircut and they did not let them fall on the ground), from his nails, from his dress, from his staff, from his ring, from his bed and cot and from his praying mat. In short, they drew blessings from any object that was even marginally associated with his body. Even after his death, the Companions and the leading believers derived blessings from his grave and the pulpit. They received blessing even from the houses and places where he had lived, the spots at which he had prayed and the dust of the paths he had walked through. Every successive generation after the period of the Companions and Successors including caliphs, kings and religious leaders, preserved the Prophet’s signs and relics with great reverence. On special days Muslims were allowed to see them, draw blessings from them and pray to Allah through their mediation.
This reverential attitude should be maintained in the context of the Prophet’s traditions and in any reference to his exalted personality. The same attitude should be reflected in our treatment of the Companions and members of the Prophet’s family. If we consistently display this attitude, Allah will not only reinforce our faith but also shower His blessings on us. But if we treat them disrespectfully, Allah will curse us with trouble and affliction, which the common man often fails to understand. The Companions possessed a number of his relics. Not only some of these are given below, but also the way they are used as means is also briefly described:

 1. Desire to be buried in the Prophet’s vicinity
 
‘Umar bin al-Khattāb had a strong desire to be buried in the vicinity of the Prophet’s grave. When he was at his deathbed, he sent his son to seek permission from ‘Ā’ishah as she had reserved the specific spot for herself. But, on ‘Umar’s request, she responded: ‘I liked to keep this spot for myself but now I give preference to ‘Umar’s desire over mine.’ ‘Abdullāh returned and conveyed the glad tidings to his father. At this ‘Umar said: ‘all praise to Allah! This was the most pressing matter for me.’ The tradition runs as follows:
Husayn bin ‘Abd-ur-Rahmān from ‘Amr bin Maymūn al-Awdī has narrated: He said: I saw ‘Umar bin al-Khattāb, he said: ‘O ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Umar! Go over to the Mother of the Believers, ‘Ā’ishah, and give her my regards and then ask her if I am permitted to be buried beside my companions.’ ‘Ā’ishah replied: ‘I had this spot marked for myself and today I prefer ‘Umar to myself.’ When he came back, ‘Umar asked him: ‘what news have you brought?’ He replied: ‘O leader of the believers! She has given you the permission.’ At this ‘Umar said: ‘today nothing matters to me more than this resting place. When I pass away, take me to (this place), give my regards and request that ‘Umar bin al-Khattāb seeks permission. If I am given the permission, then bury me there, otherwise bury me in an ordinary graveyard for the Muslims.’[3]
The only interpretation of the desire expressed by both ‘Umar and ‘Ā’ishah is that they wanted to receive divine blessings through the mediation of the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) by being buried close to him.  
2. The small water bag of leather as a source of blessing
1. ‘Abd-ur-Rahmān bin Abū ‘Amrah has attributed it to his grandmother who heard it from Kabshah Ansāriyyah:
Allah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) went over to see her and there was a small water bag of leather hanging there. He drank water from it while standing. Then she cut off the mouth of water bag on account of its blessing because the Prophet’s mouth had touched it.[4]
2. Umm Sulaym cut off the mouth of the water bag from which the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) had drunk water. Anas says:
That the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) came over to see Umm Sulaym and there was a small leather bag (of water) hanging in the house. He drank (water) from this leather bag while standing. Anas says that Umm Sulaym cut off the mouth of the leather bag so it is (still) with us.[5]
3. Cure through the mediation of the Prophet’s gown
It is narrated by ‘Abdullāh, a slave freed by Asmā’ bint Abū Bakr:
That she (Asmā’ bint Abū Bakr) took out the gown that belonged to Kasrawanī Tayālisān, its collar and slits were lined with silk cloth. She said: ‘this was in the possession of ‘Ā’ishah, when she died, I took it over and the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) used to wear it. We used to wash it for the sick and along with it we asked for the recovery of the sick.[6]
Nawawī has commented on it:
And this tradition confirms that it is a meritorious act to seek blessing through the relics and robes of the virtuous.[7]
4. The Prophet’s ring
‘Abdullāh bin ‘Umar has narrated:

The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) had a silver ring made for himself. It was in his hand, then it remained in Abū Bakr’s hand, then it remained in ‘Umar’s hand, then it remained in ‘Uthmān’s hand, then from his hand it fell into a well at Arīs. The following words were engraved on it: Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah.[8]
5. Blessing through the Prophet’s blanket
The Mother of Believers, ‘Ā’ishah lovingly guarded a blanket in which the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) had passed away as is attributed to Abū Hurayrah that ‘Ā’ishah took out a thick blanket and showed it to us. She said:
The Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) had breathed his last in this blanket.[9]
6. Blessing through the Prophet’s sandals
1. Anas kept with him a pair of the Prophet’s shoes and a cup from which he used to drink. Bukhārī comments with reference to the pair of shoes:
‘Īsā bin Tahmān reported that Anas brought out a pair of old sandals and showed them to us. Each one of the pair had two laces. Then Thābit al-Bunānī, reporting it from Anas, told me that the pair of shoes belonged to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم).[10]
2. Similarly, according to another tradition, ‘Ubayd bin Jurayh said to ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Umar: “I see you wearing a pair of shoes shorn of hair.” ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Umar replied: “I have seen the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) wearing such shoes which are denuded of hair, and he used to put his feet into them after ablution. Therefore, I like to wear such shoes.”[11]
3. Qastallānī writes in his book al-Mawāhib-ul-laduniyyah (2:118-9) that ‘Abdullāh bin Mas‘ūd was one of the Prophet’s attendants and attended him with a pillow, a tooth-brush, a pair of sandals and water for ablution. When the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) stood up, he helped him put on the sandals, and when he sat down, ‘Abdullāh bin Mas‘ūd picked up the sandals and tucked them under his arms.
Qastallānī adds: One of the virtues, benefits and blessings of the Prophet’s sandals has been particularly stressed by Shaykh Abū Ja‘far bin ‘Abd-ul-Majīd. He says: I gave a sample of the pair of sandals to one of my students. One day he came over to me and said: yesterday, I discovered a strange blessing in the sandals. My wife was on the point of death from severe pain. I placed the sandals on the aching spot and said: O Allah! show me a miracle from the owner of this pair of sandals. Allah showed His mercy and my wife instantly recovered.[12]
Abū Bakr Ahmad bin Abū Muhammad ‘Abdullāh bin Husayn Qurtubī has given a poetic expression to his feelings about the pair of sandals:
Such shoes whose exalted status we acknowledged because only through this acknowledgement, we exalt ourselves. Therefore, they should be kept at a lofty place, because, in reality, these are the crown (on the head) although they appear to be shoes.[13]
When Imam Fakhānī cast his first glance at the sandals, he burst into a poetic expression:
And if the Madman of Laylā had been asked to choose between a meeting with Laylā and the pelf of the world, he would have spontaneously replied: “I hold the dust blowing up from her shoes even dearer than my own soul and it is the best cure for blowing off its problems”.
It is noteworthy that scholars from the Deoband school of thought have written books about the Prophet’s shoes:
1. Mawlānā Shihāb-ud-Dīn Ahmad Muqrī wrote a book called Fath-ul-muta‘āl fi madh-in-ni‘āl.
2. Mawlānā Ashraf ‘Alī Thānwī wrote a tract Nayl-ush-shifā bi-ni‘āl-il-Mustafā, which is part of his book Zād-us-sa‘īd.
Mawlānā Muhammad Zakariyyā Kandhalwī comments:
“The virtues and blessings of the Prophet’s sandals are found at the end of the tract Zād-us-Sa‘īd by Mawlānā Ashraf ‘Alī Thānwī. Anyone who is keen on details is advised to refer to it. In short, its blessings are infinite. The scholars have performed repeated experiments. If you keep them in your possession, you may see the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), you may be delivered from the oppressors and may achieve popularity. In brief, to depend on it as a source of intermediation is an unwavering guarantee of success. The method of intermediation is also explained in it.”[14]
This discussion clearly proves that the real capital is the unfathomed love for the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) and the unflagging respect for the things and objects directly or indirectly associated with him, as has been poetically expressed by Imām Ahmad Radā Khān:
“If I have a pair of the Prophet’s sandals to place on my head.
Then I shall consider myself no less than a properly crowned king.”
7. Blessing through the holy goblet
1. Abū Burdah narrates:
‘Abdullāh bin Salām said to me, “Shouldn’t I serve you (water) in the goblet from which the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) had drunk.[15]
2. Abū Hāzim from Sahl bin Sa‘d narrates:
One day the Companions had the pleasure of the Prophet’s company at Saqīfah banī Sā‘idah. Then he asked Sahl to get him (some water). Then I brought out this goblet for him and served him (water) in it. Abū Hāzim said: Sahl brought out that goblet for us and we also drank from it. Then ‘Umar bin ‘Abd-ul-‘Azīz requested that he should hand over the goblet to him and Sahl handed it over to him. And the tradition by Abū Bakr bin Ishāq says: he said, O Sahl, get me some water to drink.[16]
3. Hajjāj bin Hassān relates:
We were with Anas that he sent for a vessel, which had three female iron lizards and an iron ring in it. He took it out of a black cover, which was less than medium size and more than one-eighth of it, and at Anas’s order, water was brought in it for us. We had the water and poured some of it over our heads and faces and sent salutations on the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم).[17]
The chain of transmission of this tradition is sahīh (sound).
4. And when the goblet that was in the possession of Anas, and from which the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) used to drink, cracked, he took tremendous pains to repair it. His painstaking efforts are an ample proof of the love and respect the Companions had for the articles directly or indirectly associated with the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم). The tradition says:
When the Prophet’s goblet cracked, (Anas) repaired it with a silver chain, instead of (repairing it) with something ordinary. ‘Āsim (the narrator) says: ‘I have myself seen that goblet and have also drunk water from it.’[18]
8. Blessing through the holy hair
The Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) himself taught his followers to preserve the relics and practically created in his Companions the awareness and the urgency that they should let no opportunity slip to collect his blessings.
1. Anas narrates that after performing the sacrificial rites at the juncture of hajj:
The Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) held the right side of his head in front of the barber, he shaved off his hair. Then he called Abū Talhah al-Ansārī and handed him the (shaved) hair. Then he held the other side in front of the barber, he also shaved off the hair on this side and he also handed those hair to Abū Talhah and said to him: ‘distribute these hair among the people.’[19]
2. Ibn Sīrīn has reported it from Anas:
When the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) had his head shaved; Abū Talhah was the first person to receive his hair.[20]
3. Similarly another tradition is attributed to Anas:
I saw that a barber was shaving the Prophet’s head and the Companions stood around him in the shape of a circle. They wished that each strand of hair falling off the Prophet’s head should fall into the hand of one of them (they did not wish it to fall on the ground).[21]
4. Ibn Sīrīn relates:
I told ‘Abīdah that we are in possession of the Prophet’s hair which I obtained from Anas or his family. ‘Abīdah said: ‘if I possessed anyone of these hair, I will hold that hair even dearer than the entire world and whatever it contains.’[22]
Ibn Hajar ‘Asqalānī says: “This tradition furnishes the proof that it is valid to draw divine blessings from the Prophet’s hair and confirms the permissibility of its acquisition.”[23]
5. Thābit al-Bunānī relates that Anas said to him:
This is a hair belonging to the dear Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), so you should place it under my tongue. He says the hair was placed under his tongue and when he was buried, the hair was still under his tongue.[24]
6. ‘Uthmān bin ‘Abdullāh bin Mawhab relates:
My family sent me to Umm Salamah with a goblet of water. Israel clutched his three fingers in a manner that they looked like the goblet, which contained the Prophet’s hair, and when someone was under the influence of an evil eye or suffered from pain, he used to send a utensil (of water) to Umm Salamah. So when I peered into the utensil, I saw a few red hairs.[25]
Badr-ud-Dīn ‘Aynī says: “Umm Salamah kept the Prophet’s hair in a silver bottle. When people fell ill, they received blessings from those hairs and recovered from their illness as a result of this blessing. If someone was under the spell of a malevolent eye or just fell ill, he would send his wife to Umm Salamah with a utensil holding water; she would pass the hair through the water and the patient would recover by drinking that water, and after that the hair was put away in the bottle.”[26]
9. Victory in war through the mediation of the Prophet’s hair
Qādī ‘Iyād narrates in ash-Shifā (2:619):
Khālid bin Walīd’s cap contained some of the Prophet’s hair. When the cap fell away during battle, he rushed to grab it. When a large number of Companions lost their lives as martyrs in this battle, the people blamed him. He replied: ‘I did not put up all that struggle just for the cap, but the cap contained the Prophet’s hair. I feared I would be deprived of their blessings in case they fell into the hands of the infidels.’
10. Making a coffin out of the clothes worn by the Prophet (SAW)
1. When Alī’s mother, Fātimah bint Asad died, her funeral rites were meticulously observed. After the bath, when it was time to dress her up in a shirt, the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) handed his own shirt to the women and commanded them to dress her up in that shirt and then wrap the coffin round it.[27]
To drape her dead body in his shirt was most presumably intended to shower divine blessings on her.
2. When the Prophet’s daughter, Zaynab or Umm Kalthūm died, he blessed her with his own trouser-sash to wrap the coffin.[28]
3. Similarly, a woman presented a shawl to the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم). When he was dressed in it, someone said to him: O Messenger of Allah! What a beautiful shawl! Please give it to me; and he gave the shawl to him. The audience were displeased by it and started cursing the person who had requested for the shawl: when you knew that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) never turns down the request of a petitioner, then why did you ask for this shawl? That person replied: I have taken this sheet of cloth not for wearing but for my coffin to draw blessings from it. The words of the tradition are as follows:
Sahl bin Sa‘d says: A woman brought a burdah, that is, a sheet of cloth for the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم). Sahl asked the people: do you know what burdah is? People replied: it is a large and open sheet of cloth. Sahl said: burdah is a kind of sheet which has stripes in it. The woman said: O Messenger of Allah! I present (this sheet) to you for wearing. The Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) accepted the shawl because, under the circumstances, he needed it. Then the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) wore it. One of the Companions had his eyes set on the shawl and he said to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم): What a graceful sheet of cloth! Please give it to me. He said: Yes, you take it. When the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) left, his Companions rebuked him. They said: You haven’t done good (especially) when you saw that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) had accepted it and also needed it, and you know that whenever a petition is made to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), he never turns it down. The man replied: when the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) had worn it, I expected it to bring blessings to me in case I am buried in it.[29]
Sahl bin Sa‘d relates that he was buried in that sheet of cloth.
4. Jābir bin ‘Abdullāh narrates:
The Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) went over to ‘Abdullāh bin Ubayy after he had been buried. He had his dead body taken out, covered his mouth with his saliva and draped him in his own shirt.[30]
The same tradition has also been reported in a modified form:
The Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) reached ‘Abdullāh bin Ubayy when he had been placed inside the grave. He commanded him to be taken out (and when he was taken out) he (the Prophet) placed him over his knees, rubbed him with his own saliva, breathed into him and draped him in his own shirt.[31]
5. ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Umar narrates:
When ‘Abdullāh bin Ubayy died, his son went over to the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) and said to him: ‘O Messenger of Allah! I implore you to bless him with your shirt to make out of it a coffin for him, and you offer prayer on it and also pray for his forgiveness.’ So he gave him his shirt.[32]
6. When ‘Abdullāh bin Sa‘d bin Sufyān was martyred in the battle of Tabūk, the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) coffined him in his own shirt.[33]
7. When ‘Abdullāh bin Hārith bin ‘Abd-ul-Muttalib bin Hashim died, the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) buried him in his own shirt-coffin and said: “He is fortunate and he has received blessings from it.”[34]
11. Blessings through the Prophet’s spittle
In 6 Hegira, when the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) set out for Makkah with his devoted Companions to offer hajj, the infidels intercepted him. Since the intention was to perform hajj, he did not allow his Companions to be provoked, though they bubbled over with the spirit of self-sacrifice for the divine pleasure. Meanwhile, negotiations between the two parties were held. ‘Urwah bin Mas‘ūd (who had not embraced Islam at that time) represented the infidels. At this juncture, he directly witnessed the passionate attachment of the Companions with the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) and when he returned to his camp, he mentioned it to the infidels in these words:
O my nation, (the infidels of Makkah)! By God! I have attended the courts of the kings (royal courts). I have also been to (the courts) of Caesar, Khosrau and Najāshī, but I swear by Allah that I have never come across a king who is revered as much by his Companions as Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم). By Allah, whenever he throws out his spittle, it lands on the palm of some Companion or the other who rubs it on his face or body. When he commands his Companions, they rush to comply with it, and when he performs ablution, they even quarrel with one another to obtain the leftover water, and when he is speaking, the Companions lower their voices in his presence and, out of reverence, they do not look at him straight. And surely he has made a good offer, so you should accept it.[35]
2. ‘Ā’ishah relates that the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) used to mention in the context of patients:
In the name of Allah, with the help of the soil of our land and the saliva from the mouth of some of us, our patient shall recover by the will of our God.[36]
Ibn Hajar ‘Asqalānī’s comments on the tradition are as follows:
“The Prophet’s words “from the saliva of some of us” prove that he used to apply his saliva while using a protective invocation (ruqyah) over something. Nawawī says: ‘the tradition means that the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) put his saliva on his forefinger and rubbed it on to the soil, then he froze it and applied it to the patient or the wound and while applying it, he recited the words of the tradition.’ Qurtubī says: ‘this tradition proves that it is valid to treat any disease by using a protective invocation over it, and it also makes it clear that it was a common and popular practice among them.’ He is also of the opinion that the Prophet’s placing of his forefinger on the soil and sprinkling it with earth justifies its relevance while blowing protective invocation through it… And, surely, it describes the mode of receiving blessings through the attributes of the Lord and the relics of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم). Then blowing breath laden with protective invocation into something and a divinely inspired sense of purpose and determination have amazing implications which simply stun human reason.[37]
There are countless examples found in the authentic books on tradition that when a child was born, the Companions brought him to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) to name him and to administer him the first food after his birth. He put his saliva into the mouth of the newborn and thus the first thing the child’s belly received was the Prophet’s saliva.
3. Asmā’ bint Abū Bakr says:
I (while in Makkah) was pregnant with ‘Abdullāh bin Zubayr (that is, he was in my belly). The period of pregnancy was near completion that I set out for Medina. I got down at Qubā’ and gave birth to my son (‘Abdullāh bin Zubayr) at Qubā’. Then I took him over to the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) and placed him in his lap. He sent for a date and chewed it. Then he put his saliva into the child’s mouth, and the first thing that entered his stomach was the Prophet’s saliva. Then he applied the date to his palate, prayed for him and offered his congratulations.[38]
4. Anas narrates:
When ‘Abdullāh, the son of Abū Talhah al-Ansārī, was born, I brought him to the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم). At that time, he was wearing a shawl and rubbing oil on to a camel. He said: have you got any dates? I replied, yes. Then I gave him a few dates, he munched them with his teeth and then he put it into the child’s mouth by opening it. The child started sucking it. He said: the Muslims of Medina love the dates and then he named the child as ‘Abdullāh.[39]
12. Blessing through the Holy Prophet’s perspiration
1. It is narrated by Thumāmah through Anas:
That Umm Sulaym used to spread a leather mattress for the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) where he enjoyed his midday nap. Anas relates that when the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) woke up, I collected his perspiration and his hair, put these into a bottle and blended them with perfume. Thumāmah relates that when Anas was on the brink of dying he willed that the scent be applied to his coffin. He relates that the scent was applied to his coffin.[40]
2. There is another tradition on similar lines:
Anas bin Mālik relates that the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) visited us and had his midday sleep. When he broke into perspiration, my mother came up with a bottle. She wiped his sweat and put it into the bottle. When the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) woke up, he said to her: Umm Sulaym! What are you doing? She replied: this is your perspiration which we will mix with our perfume and this is the best perfume.[41]
13. Blessing through the Holy Prophet’s handwash
It is narrated by Abū Mūsā:
I was with the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) when he visited Ji‘rānah, a place between Makkah and Medina. Bilāl also accompanied him. A bedouin called on him and said to him: O Muhammad! You haven’t kept your promise. He said to him: cheer up! He said: you have repeated “cheer up!” a number of times. He turned in a state of rage to Abū Mūsā and Bilāl and said (to them): this person has rejected my glad tidings, but you should accept it. Both of them said: O Messenger of Allah, we have accepted (the glad tidings). Then he sent for a goblet full of water, washed both of his hands and face in it, rinsed his mouth in it and then said to them: drink it and pour it over your face and chest and cheer up. Both of them took over the goblet from him and did as he had asked them to do. Umm Salamah called them from behind the curtain. Leave some of it in the utensil for your mother. So they left some water for her too.[42]
14. Blessing through the Holy Prophet’s nail
Muhammad bin ‘Abdullāh bin Zayd has reported it from his father:
The Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) had his hair cut in a piece of cloth and gave it to him, out of which he distributed some among the people, then he had his nails clipped and gave them to him.[43]
This tradition has a sound chain of transmission and its narrators are men of credibility.
15. Blessing through the Holy Prophet’s staff
1. ‘Abdullāh bin Anīs has reported it from his father:
When I called on the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) , he said to me as he saw me: “The successful face (the successful man).” He says: I said to him: O Messenger of Allah, I have killed him (Khālid bin Sufyān). He said: You have spoken out the truth. Then the Messenger (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) stood up beside me and went to his house and blessed me with his staff and said: O ‘Abdullāh bin Anīs! Keep it with you. When I came out carrying the staff, the people asked me: what is this (staff)? He replied: this has been given to me by the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) and he has commanded me to keep it. The people said: won’t you return it to the Messenger (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)? Ask the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) about it. ‘Abdullāh bin Anīs says that I called on the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) and asked him: O Messenger of Allah! why have you given this staff to me? He replied: on the Day of Judgement this will serve as a mark of recognition between us when few people will cooperate with others. ‘Abdullāh bin Anīs tied the staff to his sword and always kept it with himself until he passed away. He had willed about the staff that it should be placed in his coffin, so we buried them together.[44]
2. Anas bin Mālik has reported:
That he had a short stick given to him by the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم). When he died, it (the stick) was buried with him, between his shirt and the side of his body.[45]
3. Qādī ‘Iyād relates in as-Shifā (2:621):
Jahjāhā al-Ghifārī snatched the Prophet’s staff from ‘Uthmān’s hand, placed it on his knee and made a sacrilegious effort to break it. But people stalled him in his tracks by protesting, but (he was punished by the unknown for this act), a boil broke out on his knee which turned into a running sore. As a result, his leg was amputated and he died the same year.
16. Blessing through the Prophet’s pulpit
Sitting on the pulpit, the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) taught religion to his Companions. The lovers of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) were extremely fond of this pulpit and preserved it like his other relics to draw blessings from it. Qādī ‘Iyād relates:
Ibn ‘Umar was often seen touching with his hand the part of the pulpit where the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) used to sit and then rubbing his hand all over his body.[46]
17. Blessing through the gold given by the Prophet (SAW)
It was the usual practice of the Companions that they held every object associated with the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) even dearer than their own life and went to extraordinary lengths not to let it waste and to preserve it in its untarnished splendour. They saved the dinars given to them by the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) and avoided spending them even in the face of the most pressing temptation.
Jābir bin ‘Abdullāh has related:
Once I was travelling with the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم). Since I was riding a sluggish camel, I lagged behind everyone. When the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) passed by me, he asked: who are you? I said: Jābir bin ‘Abdullāh. He asked me: what’s the matter? I replied: I am riding a sluggish camel. He asked me for a stick and I brought the stick to him. He applied it to the camel and reprimanded it. Then the same camel ran ahead of all others. He wanted to buy my camel but I said: O Messenger of Allah! This is already yours and you can have it without payment. But the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) insisted on buying it and said: I have bought it from you for four dinars, and permitted me to ride it to Medina. When we reached Medina, he said:
O Bilāl! Pay (Jābir) his price, and add some more to it.
Bilāl paid him four dinars, adding a carat of gold to the price.
Jābir bin ‘Abdullāh relates:
The (carat of) gold given by the beloved Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) never parted us. (The narrator says): and that carat (of gold gifted by the Holy Prophet) always remained in Jābir bin ‘Abdullāh’s purse, and never left it.[47]

18. Blessings through the Prophet’s hands and feet
1. Anas bin Mālik relates:
After morning prayers, the servants of Medina brought their utensils full of water to the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم). He dipped his finger into every utensil. Often it happened in the mornings and he dipped his hand in it.[48]
2. ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Umar narrates that he was in one of the regiments of the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم). People, fighting the non-believers, fled from the battlefield and I was one of them. Later, we repented and we decided to return to Medina and were determined to take part in the next holy war. There, we expressed a desire to meet the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم). We would stay in Medina if our repentance were granted, otherwise we would move on to some other place. Then we called on the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) and said to him: O Messenger of Allah! We are the fugitives. He turned to us and said:
No, you are going to join the fighting again. ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Umar relates that (on hearing this we were very pleased,) we came closer to him and kissed his hand. He said: I am the place of refuge for the Muslims, (that is, I am their asylum and place of retreat. Where will they go except coming to me, whether they are in error or not)?[49]
3. Umm Abān bint Wazi‘ bin Zāri‘ has reported from her grandfather Zāri‘ who was a member of the ‘Abd-ul-Qays delegation. He said:
When we went to Medina, we hurried out of our vehicles and started kissing the hands and feet of the beloved Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم).[50]
4. Bukhārī has added the following words to the tradition narrated by Umm Abān. According to him, her grandfather said:
When we arrived (in Medina), we were told: over there is the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم). So we grasped his hands and feet and kissed them.[51]
5. Safwān bin ‘Assāl has narrated:
A Jewish delegation kissed the hands and the feet of the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم). i [52]
Summary
All the traditions discussed in the preceding pages are sound as they have been taken over from the certified and authentic books of traditions. They furnish ample and irrefutable evidence that the relics of the prophets and the saints are an effective source of divine blessings. The Companions, who preserved them meticulously, did not use them as display counters; on the contrary, they prayed to God through their mediation for averting calamities. Besides, they also prove that the Companions drew blessings from them and achieved higher objectives.
