Do some Sufis cite the hadith, “Pray upon me, for your prayers reach you wherever you are,” as evidence that ﷺ attends their birthday celebrations?

Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: Some Sufis cite the hadith, “Pray upon me, for your prayers reach you wherever you are,” or “No servant prays upon me except that Allah returns my soul to me, so I return the prayer to him.” They cite this as evidence that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) attends their birthday celebrations or their gatherings.

Answer:
What is the evidence for this? First, what is the evidence that the Mawlid is prescribed? Second, if they bring evidence that the Mawlid is prescribed, what is the evidence that the Messenger attends the funerals? They do not attend, nor do they go out into the world. Neither the prophets nor anyone else who has died returns to the world; they have departed from it and cannot return. There is no report that they come or that they walk on the earth. Have you not seen how We destroyed those before you? Yes.
