You think this is something to joke of?, yes they did, infact the sahaba were healed many times from the body of the prophet
"Asma sent me to Abdullah ibn Umar saying, 'The news has reached me that you prohibit the use of three things: the striped robe, saddle cloth made of red silk, and fasting the whole month of Rajab. 'Abd Allah said to me, 'So far as what you say about fasting in the month of Rajab, how about one who observes continuous fasting? And so far as what you say about the striped garment, I heard Umar ibn al-Khattab say that he had heard from Allah's Messenger, "He who wears a silk garment, has no share for him (in the Hereafter)." And I am afraid that stripes were part of it. And so far as the red saddle cloth is concerned, here is Abd Allah's saddle cloth [=his] and it is red.' I went back to Asma and informed her, so she said, 'Here is the cloak (jubba) of Allah's Messenger,' and she brought out to me that cloak made of Persian cloth with a hem of (silk) brocade, and its sleeves bordered with (silk) brocade, and said, 'This was Allah's Messenger's cloak with Aisha until she died, then I got possession of it.
The Apostle of Allah used to wear it, and we washed it for the sick so that they could seek cure thereby.'
Muslim relates this in the first chapter of the book of clothing.
Nawawi comments: "In this hadith is a proof that it is recommended to seek blessings through the relics of the righteous and their clothes ( wa fi hadha al-hadith dalil ala istihbab al-tabarruk bi aathar al-salihin wa thiyabihim)." [Sharh Sahih Muslim (Book 37 Chapter 2 #10).]
Now what do you say? the hadith is daeef?
