The ruling on praying behind one who calls upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for aid

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: We have an imam in one of the villages in our country who raises his voice calling upon the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) for aid through loudspeakers, saying, “O Messenger, help us.” What is the ruling on praying behind him?

Answer:
It is not permissible. This is shirk (associating partners with Allah). The one who asks the Messenger for needs and help and calls out to him is a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah), and it is not permissible to pray behind him. Yes.
