Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: Is it permissible to make a supplication in which some people say, “O Allah, I seek nearness to You through You, and I swear by You upon You, so just as You were my guide to You, be O Allah my intercessor with You”?
Answer:
There is no evidence for this. One does not supplicate except with a supplication established by evidence or one that agrees with what is established by evidence. This is not seeking nearness to You through You; it has not been reported in this form. Yes.
