How do we reconcile the prohibition of asking him (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was alive for what he could not do, with his saying to Umm 'Amrah, “Ask me for whatever you wish”?

Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, asks: How do we reconcile the prohibition of asking the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was alive for what only Allah can do, with his saying to Umm 'Amrah (may Allah be pleased with her), “Ask me for whatever you wish”? She asked him for Paradise with him, and he did not rebuke her.

Answer:
That means he made a supplication for her; it does not mean he gave her Paradise. Only Allah gives Paradise. One does not say, “Give me Paradise”; rather, one says to him, “Make a supplication to Allah for me for Paradise.” So he (peace and blessings be upon him) made a supplication for her. Yes, no one says to the Messenger, “Give me Paradise” or “Make my dwelling in Paradise.” Rather, one says, “Call upon Allah to make me among the people of Paradise” or “to admit me to Paradise.” There is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
