Bidat

Rasool Allah [ﷺ] never asked someone to collect his sweat and Umm Sulaim did it according to her own opinion.Similarly, Rasool Allah [ﷺ] never asked his sweat and hair mixed with Suk to be used on a dead body as Hanut. It was Anas bin Malik himself who did it according to his own opinion. [Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 74, Number 298]

[Narrated by Ahmad in his Musnad (3:496)]Rasool Allah [ﷺ] never asked Abdullah ibn Anis to take that staff with him in his grave, and he introduced this new act only according to his own opinion.

Dawud ibn Salih says: “[The Caliph] Marwan one day saw a man placing his face on top of the grave of the Prophet. He said: “Do you know what you are doing?” When he came near him, he realized it was Abu Ayyub al-Ansari. The latter said: “Yes; I came to the Prophet, not to a stone.(Ahmad (5:422),Ibn Hibban,Tabarani in his Mu`ja al-Hakim in his Mustadrak (4:515)) Paying respect to the signs of Allah and to seek barakah from them is a virtuous act in Islam. Only limitation put by Islam is “Prostration”.

Mu`adh ibn Jabal and Bilal also came to the grave of the Prophet and sat weeping, and the latter rubbed his face against it.[Sunan Ibn Majah 2:1320.]Rasool Allah [ﷺ] never asked Sahaba to place and rub their faces on his grave, or to sit there and weep. Abu Ayyub Ansari, Mu`adh ibn Jabal and Bilal did all that according to their own opinion.

Imam Ahmad’s (hambal)son `Abd Allah said: I asked my father about the man who touches and kisses the pommel of the Prophet’s minbar to obtain blessing, or touches the grave of the Prophet. He responded by saying: “There is nothing wrong with it.” `Abd Allah also asked Imam Ahmad about the man who touches the Prophet’s minbar and kisses it for blessing, and who does the same with the grave, or something to that effect, intending thereby to draw closer to Allah. He replied: “There is nothing wrong with it.” This was narrated by `Abdullah ibn Ahmad ibn Hanbal in his book entitled al-`Ilal fi ma`rifat al-rijal (2:492)

Tabari narrated through Handhalah Ibn Hudhaym …..The Prophet brought this young child whose name was Handhalah next to him, wiped on his head, and told him, “barakallahu fik,”(May Allah bless you) After that, people started to bring Handhalah a person with a swollen face or a sheep with a swollen udder. Handhalah would place his hand on that part of his head the Prophet wiped, then touch the swollen part and say Bismillah, and the swelling would be cured. Handhalah did it according to his own opinion. Was he really indulged in Dhalalah? No because it didnt go against Quran and sunnah of Prophet (ﷺ) —(al-Tabarani in al-Awsat and al-Kabir (4:16))

When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
