Abstract
The issue of "blessing" is accepted by all Muslims. All Muslims agree on the permissibility of seeking bless from the reminders of the Holy prophet such as the parts separated from the Prophet's body, like hair, nails, sweat, saliva, ablution water, clothes, etc. Although Wahhabis also agree with other Muslims in this matter; They do not consider it permissible to seek bless from the places of the Holy Prophet (PBH) such as his holy chamber and grave, providing their own evidences. Wahhabis also do not consider it permissible to seek bless from the righteous and the saints and their reminders. The Wahhabists consider seeking bless from a person and his properties as one of the exclusive characteristics of the Holy Prophet (PBH) , Considering seeking bless from the graves of the righteous people as polytheism. The findings of this study show that seeking bless from the saints and the reminders of the Holy prophet is permissible and the arguments presented by Wahhabism are invalid.
