The Blessed Hair of The Prophet
angel who is ordered to write four things. It is said to it, “Write down his deeds, his livelihood, his lifespan, and whether he will be blessed or wretched.” Then, the soul is breathed into him.
By the One besides whom there is none worthy of worship, indeed, a man amongst you may perform the actions of the people of Paradise until there is only a handspan between him and Paradise, and then what has been decreed for him overtakes him, so he performs the deeds of the denizens of Hellfire, and he reaches it. And [Another] may carry out the actions of the people of Hell until there is only a handspan between him and the Hellfire, and then what has been decreed for him overtakes him, so he starts doing the deeds of the people of Paradise, and he enters it.[1]
اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنِّیْ اَسْئَلُکَ الْجَنَّۃَ الْفِرْدَوْسَ بِغَیْرِ حِسَاب
Encouragement to seek blessings
2) Dear Islamic brothers! The second pearl of wisdom from the distribution of the blessed Prophetic hair is that the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم himself desired for his ummah to safeguard his blessed relics and seek blessings from them. Therefore, he ordered for them to be distributed for these reasons.
اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـهِ The noble Companions عَـلَيْهِمُ الرِّضْوَانْ attached great importance to these blessed relics, safeguarding and securing them with utmost etiquette, and continued to seek blessings from them. Some of the blessed hairs were then transferred onwards generation by generation.
