The Tabarruk of the Prophet’s (s.a.w.) Sandal

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Imam Shihab ad-Din Abu al-‘Abbas Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Qasthalani (r.a.) mentioned the following, from one of the greatest tabi’in, Imam Muhammad ibn Muslim ibn Shihab az-Zuhri (r.a.), who said that Shaykh al-Qasim ibn Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr asw-Swiddiq (r.a.) said, “Of the proven blessing of the likeness of the Prophet’s (s.a.w.) sandal is that whoever has it in his possession for tabarruk, it will safeguard him from the sedition of rebels and the mastery of enemies, and will be a barrier against every recreant devil and the evil eye of the envious.  If the pregnant woman holds it in her right hand at the time of labour, her delivery will be easier by Allah’s Will and His Power.”
