What is the ruling on saying, “I ask you by the right of your Prophet”?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the statement “I ask you by the right of your Prophet” have four cases: swearing by Allah, or by the deed of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), or by his supplication after his death, or by the person of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? Are these cases correct?

The Shaykh:
Yes. If he asks by the Prophet, and if he means by the person of the Prophet, this is not permissible because it is swearing by Allah. Or by the deed of the Prophet, this is also not permissible because you have no right to ask by it. Or by what?

The questioner:
He says by the deed of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

The Shaykh:
You have no right to ask by the deed of another person. Yes.

The questioner:
By his supplication after his death, by his supplication.

The Shaykh:

Or by his person.

The Shaykh:
By his person is swearing by Allah. Yes.
