What is your guidance regarding the narration mentioned by Al-Hakim: "And the Companions of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would seek blessings through him and through his supplication," which speaks of Muhammad ibn Talhah ibn Ubaydillah al-Sajjad?

Al-Hakim mentioned that Muhammad ibn Talha al-Sajjad was among the ascetics, and that the Companions sought blessings from him and his supplications, and that he was the first to be given the title "al-Sajjad." However, Al-Hakim did not provide a chain of narration (isnad) for this seeking of blessings. It appears that what Al-Hakim mentioned from Al-Isbahani concerns the authenticity of the title "al-Sajjad," not the seeking of blessings. This report is very weak because its pivot is Al-Waqidi, who is abandoned (matruk). Sheikh Muqbil al-Wadi'i commented on Al-Hakim's statement, "Abu Abdullah al-Isbahani confirmed its authenticity to us, as I mentioned previously," by saying, "How can it be authentic, when it is transmitted through Al-Waqidi, the liar?" If seeking blessings from Muhammad ibn Talha's person were legitimate, then why did the Companions not seek blessings from the Four Caliphs, who are the best of the Ummah? This report contradicts what has been established among the researchers: that the righteous predecessors did not seek blessings from the persons or relics of one another. Al-Shatibi holds that the Companions did not do this with each other after the death of the Prophet (peace be upon him). Ibn Rajab explained that seeking blessings from relics was specific to the Prophet (peace be upon him), and the Companions did not do it with each other, nor did the Tabi'un (successors) do it with the Companions, and that such exaggeration could lead to innovation (bid'ah) and polytheism (shirk).
