The ruling on seeking nearness to Allah through the status of a person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q48: The questioner says: I read the following phrases in one of the books: "O Allah, by the status of so-and-so with You," or "by the blessing of so-and-so," or "by the sanctity of so-and-so with You, accept this supplication from me." What is the ruling on making supplication with these phrases?
A48: This is an innovated supplication, so it is not permissible to ask by status, or by right, or by a person. This is not permissible; it is among the newly invented innovations. No authentic hadith has been established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding this, and it is not reported that the Messenger
(peace and blessings be upon him) said: This hadith is false, fabricated against the Messenger, and has no basis. Therefore, it is not permissible to ask by status, or by right, or by a person.

If you ask, then ask Allah by my status, for my status with Allah is broad.
إذا سألتم فاسألوا الله بجاهي، فإن جاهي عند الله عريض
