Supplication by the Right of the Prophet and His Status

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for one who supplicates to Allah the Mighty and Majestic to say, "By the right of Muhammad upon You," or to say, "By the status of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)"?

Answer:
It is not permissible to swear by other than Allah. So saying "by Muhammad," or "by the right of Muhammad," or "by his status"—the first thing is that this is an innovator (mubtadi'). The question of status (jah) has never been mentioned in an authentic hadith. And secondly, it involves swearing by a created thing using another created thing, and this is not permissible.
