Shaykh ' Abdul­Rahman ibn Hasan (may Allah be merciful to him) stated in: "Fath Al­Majid", "As for the claims of some later scholars, that Tabarruk is permissible with the relics of the righteous, this act is forbidden for many reasons, one of which is that prominent predecessors from among the Sahabah and their followers did not do so with anyone other than the Prophet (peace be upon him), whether during his lifetime or after his death."
