Is their saying, “May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah,” shirk (associating partners with Allah) because the Messenger has died?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Many people write, “May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah.” Is there not shirk (associating partners with Allah) in this, since the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) has died?

Answer:
No, this is not supplication to the Messenger; it is not supplication such that it would be shirk (associating partners with Allah). Rather, it is a statement of sacrifice. The Messenger is worth being sacrificed for with one’s self, wealth, parents, and everything, so that he may be more beloved to them than their children, their parents, and all of mankind. Yes, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
