What is the ruling on some people saying “O Guide” or “O Guide” (Ya Hadi, Ya Dalil)?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner is asking about some people saying “O Guide” (Ya Hadi) and “O Guide” (Ya Dalil).

Answer:
This is a custom among people, and I do not know of any basis for it. “Al-Hadi” (The Guide) is one of the names of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). As for “Al-Dalil” (The Guide), I do not know that it is one of the names of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). However, Allah guides to the straight path; He guides and shows the way, (Glorified and Exalted is He). As for saying “Al-Dalil,” I do not know that it is one of the names of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
