How can the prohibition against praising the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, excessively be reconciled with seeking blessings from his relics?
There is no contradiction between the prohibition of exaggerating in praise of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and seeking blessings from his relics. The prohibition of exaggeration in the , "Do not exaggerate in praise of me as the Christians exaggerated in praise of the son of Mary," means the prohibition of going to extremes in praising him, peace and blessings be upon him, and claiming divinity for him, as the Christians did with Jesus. Allah has forbidden this, saying: "Certainly they disbelieved who said, 'Indeed, Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary,'" and "O People of the Scripture, do not exaggerate in your religion." As for seeking blessings from his relics, peace and blessings be upon him, there is no false praise or exaggeration in that.
