What is the validity of the statement that “the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cannot be made into a mosque because he (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated that his grave not be made an idol to be worshipped”?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, who says that the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cannot be made into a mosque, and cannot become a mosque; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated to Allah that his grave not be made an idol to be worshipped, and his supplication is answered, is this statement correct?

The Shaykh:
Yes, praise be to Allah, the grave of the Messenger is protected, and no one, no one associates partners with Allah at it, no one slaughters at it, no one makes a vow at it, and no one calls for aid to the Messenger openly. If someone calls for aid between himself and himself, we do not know about it, but what is apparent is forbidden, praise be to Allah, and it is guarded. Also, the grave of the Messenger is not seen, and no one reaches it; it is surrounded by walls, unlike the other graves which are visible to them, and they stand at them, prostrate to them, and kiss their soil. As for the grave of the Messenger, no one has ever seen it except the special ones from the people of knowledge. It is protected and preserved, praise be to Allah, and it is guarded day and night. This is from the answering of the supplication of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.

The presenter:
Honorable people.

The Shaykh:
Some people fall into some of this secretly between themselves and Allah. We do not know the unseen; this is between them and Allah, and Allah will hold them accountable for it. Yes.
