The Blessed Hair of The Prophet
Proofs for cure in blessed relics
It is mentioned in the noble Quran that when the sight of Sayyidunā YaꜤqūb عَلَیْہِ السَّلَام was affected, Sayyidunā Yūsuf عَلَیْہِ السَّلَام said to his brothers:
اِذْهَبُوْا بِقَمِیْصِیْ هٰذَا
“'Take this shirt of mine”[1]
اللہُ اَکْبَر Ponder! The clothing which temporarily touched the blessed body of Sayyidunā Yūsuf عَلَیْہِ السَّلَام was a source of cure. Then, what of the blessed hair that is a part of the blessed body of the master of all the prophets صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم ; how can that not be a source of cure!
Imam Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal’s love for the Prophetic hair
The great devotee of the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم , Sayyidunā Imam Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه had a blessed strand of Prophetic hair in his possession. Sometimes, he would place it on his eyes, and at times of illness, he would drink the water it had been dipped into, and thereby attain cure.[2]
Dear Islamic brothers! The blessed hair of the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is not only a source of cure, it also repels calamities. The great Companion, Sayyidunā Khālid b. al-Walīd رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ, states:
