Creepy, strange, close to idol worship, acts of Sahaba?

[SultanOrder]

Some people have attacked "sufi's" for venerating the possible remains of the Rasul scw, labeled them as misguided, close to setting up the hairs of the rasul as idols. Therefore, I have compiled some hadiths that are from Sahih Muslim, and Sahih Bukhari, the two most widely accepted books of hadith in the muslim world, to prove that this is a precedent started by the Rasul scw and Sahaba. Therefore, judge for yourself.

Did the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) vouch for the
practice of preserving his blessed hairs
Imam Bukhari narrates in his Sahih from Anas ibn Malik that:
‘When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had his head shaved (on the
occasion of Hajj), Abu Talha was the first to take his hairs.’
1
• Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reports:
‘I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) when the barber was cutting his
hair. The Companions were circulating him. Each one wanted the blessed hairs to fall in their
hands.’
2

Imam Muslim Reports Abu Talha was explicitly told by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him):
‘Distribute the hairs amongst the people.’ 3

They attached value and importance to his hairs.
Imam al-Bukhari reports in his Sahih that Ibn Sirin once told Ubaida: ‘We have some hairs of the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that we attained from Anas (may Allah be pleased
with him).’ Ubaida replied:
‘Possessing one hair of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would be
more dear and valuable to me than the entire world and all of its contents.’
4

They would seek Shifa (cure) for his hairs.
Umm Salma (may Allah be pleased with her) possessed some blessed hairs of the Prophet. When
people were ill or affected by the evil eye, then they would come to her with water in a basin. She
would then dip the hairs of the Prophet in the water. They would then drink this water or bathe from it
as a means of Shifa.5

As for the blessings (baraka), that some Sahabi attempted to gain from the Rasul's scw hair'

Bukhari narrates in his Sahih in the Book of Clothing, under the chapter entitled "What is mentioned about gray hair," that `Usman ibn `Abd Allah ibn Mawhab said: "My family sent me to Umm Salama with a cup of water. Umm Salama brought out a silver bottle which contained one of the hairs of the Prophet, and it used to be that if anyone came under the evil eye or ill health they used to send her a cup of water through which she would pass this hair (for drinking). We used to look into the silver bottle: I saw some reddish hairs."
Abu Bakr said: "I saw Khalid [ibn Walid] asking for the Prophet's forelock and he received it. He used to put it over his eyes and then kiss it." It is known that he then placed it in his qalansuwa (head cover around which the turban is tied) and never faced battle again except he won. al-Waqidi (Maghazi), Ibn Hajar (Isaba). Ibn Abi Zayd al-Qayrawani relates that Imam Malik said: "Khalid ibn al-Walid owned a qalansiyya which contained some of the Prophet's hair, and that is the one he wore the day of the battle of Yarmuk.
In Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 72, Number 784: `Uthman bin `Abd Allah ibn Mawhab said, "My people sent me with a bowl of water to Umm Salama." Isra'il approximated three fingers indicating the small size of the container in which there was some hair of the Prophet. `Uthman added, "If any person suffered from evil eye or some other disease, he would send a vessel (containing water) to Umm Salama (and she would dip the Prophet's hair into it and it would be drunk). I looked into the container (that held the hair of the Prophet) and saw a few reddish hairs in it."
Hafiz Ibn Hajar in Fath al-Bari, Volume 10, page 353, said: "They used to call the silver bottle in which the hair of the Prophet was kept jiljalan and that bottle was in the home of Umm Salama." Hafiz al-`Ayni said in `Umdat al-Qari, Volume 18, page 79: "Umm Salama had some of the hairs of the Prophet in a silver bottle. When some people got ill, they would go and obtain blessings from these hairs and they would be healed by means of their blessings. If a person were struck by the evil eye or any sickness, he would send his wife to Umm Salama with a mikhdaba or water-pail, and she would pass the hair through that water and then drink the water and he would be healed, after which they would return the hair to the jiljal."
Imam Ahmad narrates in his Musnad (4:42) from `Abd Allah ibn Zayd ibn `Abd Rabbih with a sound (sahih) chain as stated by Haythami in Majma` al-zawa'id (3:19) that the Prophet clipped his nails and distributed them among the people.
