Ibn Qudamah
Ibn Qudamah supported using the relics of Muhammad for the deriving of holy blessings, as is evident from his approved citing, in "al-Mug̲h̲nī" 5:468, of the case of Abdullah ibn Umar (d. 693), whom he records as having placed "his hand on the seat of the Prophet's "minbar" ... [and] then [having proceeded to] wipe his face with it." This view was not novel or even unusual in any sense,
