Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does one stop the person one hears saying, “O Allah, I ask You by Your Prophet Muhammad,” for fear that he be thought ill of, and for fear that he will fall into shirk (associating partners with Allah)?

Answer:
Yes, because this is a general statement; this speech is general. So it is necessary that this matter be clarified to him, especially since many of those who say this intend the bad meaning due to the superstitions and bid'ah (religious innovations) they grew up with. So clarification is necessary. Yes.
