One of the main creeds in the Holy Quran and Hadiths of infallible Imams is the subject of seeking bless. In the Holy Quran, there is a verse clarifying that the Mecca is blessed: "Indeed the first house to be set up for mankind is the one at Bakkah, blessed and a guidance for all nations (3:96). At the tradition of the Muslims, we saw that Muslims were seeking bless from the Quran or the ablution water of the Holy prophet. But the Wahhabi as a new Islamic sect believe that seeking bless from the dead is against the Islamic laws. But according to the Islamic sources, we can seek bless from the sacred things. Care must be taken that some conditions must meet to regulate seeking the bless: 1- this blessing is under the God's realm and with his own permission, and if we consider it independently, it will be Shirk. 2- we must have a reason from the Holy Quran or tradition of the Holy prophet to ascribe this blessing to the Holy prophet, otherwise we are not to allowed to seek bless.

The issue of "blessing" is accepted by all Muslims. All Muslims agree on the permissibility of seeking bless from the reminders of the Holy prophet such as the parts separated from the Prophet's body, like hair, nails, sweat, saliva, ablution water, clothes, etc. Although Wahhabis also agree with other Muslims in this matter; They do not consider it permissible to seek bless from the places of the Holy Prophet (PBH) such as his holy chamber and grave, providing their own evidences. Wahhabis also do not consider it permissible to seek bless from the righteous and the saints and their reminders. The Wahhabists consider seeking bless from a person and his properties as one of the exclusive characteristics of the Holy Prophet (PBH) , Considering seeking bless from the graves of the righteous people as polytheism. The findings of this study show that seeking bless from the saints and the reminders of the Holy prophet is permissible and the arguments presented by Wahhabism are invalid.

Resorting to graves of righteous people has been common among the Muslims from the very beginning of Islam. Muslims do this for blessing and seeking help from the dead. Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab (the founder of Wahhabi movement) maintains that this act is forbidden and consider if a kind of Shirk. He mentioned the two verse from An-Najm surah (the verse 19 and 20) for his proof to accuse Muslims to polytheism. Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab cited the Hadith “Dhat Anwat” under these verses. According to him, this narration is a good proof for being the act of resorting to the graves a Minor Shirk. While, if we have a glance to the views of both Shia and Sunni scholars, it shows that these verses is descended on the pagans and not for Muslims visiting the graves. Also, The Hadith “Dhat Anwat” is related to the verse 138 from the Araf surah and the verse 108 from surah Al-Baqarah. These verses refer to worshipping idols by Bani Israel. Therefore, The Hadith “Dhat Anwat”  has no connection with the visiting the graves by the Muslims and we can not use it to refute the legitimacy of visiting the graves.
