there is barakah and shifa in them
Not exactly the same thing, but here goes:
Sahih Muslim:
Google has loads of articles on it, but they seems to not be sourced to such a high degree (they mention the book, but not where in it etc...), so you may or may not want to google Tabarruk and there are many events mentioned such as using the drops of water when the Prophet
did wudu for barakah. Some even mention the tabarruk of the prophet (saw)'s urine...
But I guess that is not the same as seeing a hair.
I have read that Khalid Ibn Walid (ra) used to keep a hair of the Prophet(saw) in his "head gear". (Is it called Imamah?)

In the old(er) Ottoman palace in Istanbul they have a display called the 'Holy Artifacts' which includes some of the beard of the Prophet (saw), some of his clothes (if I can remember correctly), the swords of Abu Bakr (ra), Umar (ra), Uthman (ra) and 'Ali (ra), the clothes of Fatimah (ra) and also of Hassan (ra) and Hussein (ra).
All very interesting to see, but I couldn't see the spiritual significance.
The other things that are there, but I have no idea how they could tell if they were real or not, were a cup used by Ibraheem (as), the staff of Musa (as), some belongings of Daud (as) amongst others.
Again, all very interesting, but I couldn't see any spiritual significance (especially since there was no way of telling how authentic they really were).
Don't just do something! Stand there.
hadith, sahaba.
a battle took place and the muslims took with them the burda of nabi
and placed it in a box somewhere on the field. they won the battle due to the barakah of the burda shareef.
there are loads of incidents, do a bit of research insha'Allah. one of the great imams (can't remember which one, i think it was imam muslim), he would carry with him the mubarak hair of nabi
at all times.
imamah = turban. the prophet
wore the imamah shareef for most of the time.
But how do you know that they won it because of that? Since the war cannot be fought twice, you cannot really say that it would have gone any differently otherwise?
(was it psychological boost too?)

the sahaba know better than us.
they wouldn't have put the burdah shareef there if they didn't think it would bring any barakah or benefit.
wa Allahu alam.
I am not saying that it wouldn't, but at the same time the people there also did their bits.

yes.
A book has been written re the blessings of the Prophet (saw). I can't remember the name of the book.
