What is the ruling on calling out to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), such as saying “O Messenger of Allah!” only, without asking him for supplication, seeking forgiveness, or intercession?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on calling out to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), such as the one who says “O Messenger of Allah” only, without asking them for supplication, seeking forgiveness, or intercession?

Answer:
“O Messenger of Allah” is a supplication. Why does he say “O Messenger of Allah” when he stands, when he sits, and when he falls? He says “O Messenger of Allah” instead of saying “O Allah.” This is a call for aid in times of need.
