Answer - It is not useless because it benefits the deceased in many ways, as explained above.

OBJECTION 4: The Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم" put his blessed shirt the Hypocrite, Abdullah bin Ubai رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ , after his death and placed his blessed saliva in bis mouth. However, no benefit was gained from doing this. This proves that Kafani is useless aod that the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم" does not have Knowledge of the Unseen.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have given his shirt and put his blessed saliva in Abdullah's mouth. Another point that emerges is that fragments of Rasoolullah’sصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم body can enter Jahannam because Abdullah bin Ubai رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ is a Hypocrite and Jabanoami, and he had the Prophet’s صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم saliva in his mouth. Thus, the saliva went where he did.

Answer - Actually, this incident proves the permissibility of Kafani because Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم dressed the Hypocrite with his blessed shirt as.

Kafani. From this, we see that without Imaan, these sacred relics (Tabarruks) do' not give benefit to the deceased. We too believe that Kafani is beneficial to a deceased who is a Mu'min, not a Kaafir. Of course the Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم knew that Abdullah bin Ubai was a Hypocrite (Munaafiq). In fact, it was through him revealing this that we know he was one! He also knew that this will give no benefit to the one who has no Imaan, because all of this deals with Beliefs (Aqaaid) and it is necessary for the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم to have knowledge of this. When a fanner is able to recognize fertile and barren land for fanning, why can't the Nabi صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم know and understand the land of Imaan (the human heart)? There are three reasons why Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم gave Abdullah bin Ubai رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ these relics,

1. Abdullah bin Ubai's son was a sincere Mu'rnin and pleasing him was intended by this.

2. 2. Once, this Hypocrite gave his shirt to Hadrat Abbas رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ to wear. Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم wanted to free his uncle of this debt.

3. The Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم demonstrated that he was the Mercy to the Worlds (Rahmatulil-Aalameen) in this incident. He is ready to show mercy to everyone, irrespective of whether a person takes his guidance or not. A cloud rains down on every kind of earth, but solid, mountainous regions take no benefit from it.

The fragments of the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم cannot enter Jahannam whilst remaining in their state. Surety the angels didn't even let the Hypocrite's mouth take in the blessed saliva - they must have removed it. Kan'aan, the son of Hadrat Nuh علیہ السلام, will enter Jahannam in the complete adult form. Why? Because only when the semen (nutfaa) turns into something else, then will it enter Jahannam in this new state. On the other hand, when Hadrat Talha رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ drank the blood of the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم after cupping, the Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said, "The fire of Jahannam is Haraam upon you."
