Why Muslims honor and seek blessings from sacred relics and places



Why Muslims honor and seek blessings from sacred relics and places Narrations from Our Master Muhammad the Messenger of Allah and As Shifa

Clothes
Imam Muslim narrates that, Abdullah, the freed slave of Asma bint Abi Bakr said, “One day, Asma, brought out for us a jubbah decorated with a pattern and hemlines, its collars and cuffs lined with brocade, and said: “This is the jubbah of the Prophet peace be upon him, which was in the keeping of Aisha, and when she passed away I took it. The Prophet, peace be upon him, used to wear it, and now we wash it to treat the sick.”
from Our Master Muhammad the Messenger of Allah

Pulpit
Ibn Saad narrated that Yazid bin Abdullah bin Qusayt said: “I saw some of the Companions of the Messenger, peace be upon him, when the Mosque had emptied of the people, taking hold of the pommel on the pulpit behind the grave with their right hands, and then facing Qibla and supplicating.”
from Our Master Muhammad the Messenger of Allah

Ibn Umar was seen to place his hand on the seat of the Prophet, peace be upon him, in the mimbar/pulpit and then place it on his face.
As Shifa

Staff
Muhammad Ibn Sirin relates that Anas bin Malik had in his possession a short staff which had belonged to the Prophet, peace be upon him, and when he died, it was buried with him between his body and his shroud.

His, peace be upon him, resting place
Zayd bin Aslam related that his father told him that Umar went to the Mosque and found Muadh weeping at the grave of the Prophet peace be upon him. Umar asked him why he wept, and he replied, “I heard a hadith of the Prophet, peace be upon him, in which he said, “The slightest ostentation in worship is idolatry, and whosoever shows enmity to the Friends of Allah has thereby declared war on Allah.”
from Our Master Muhammad the Messenger of Allah

One of the early Muslims said, “I saw Anas bin Malik come to the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) grave. He stopped and raised his hands so that I thought he was beginning the prayer. He greeted the Prophet (peace be upon him) and left.”
