Is it permissible to say "May Allah not humiliate you," or is there a religious concern in doing so?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He asks: What is the ruling on the one who says, "May Allah not humiliate you"?

Answer:
Yes, this is a supplication. You are asking that Allah not humiliate [the person]. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) humiliates and honors.
And he whom Allah humiliates - for him there is no bestower of honor.وَمَن يُهِنِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِن مُّكْرِمٍ
[Al-Hajj 22:18]
. Yes.
