The ruling on saying "May Allah be upon you" instead of "I ask you by Allah"?

Question:
And. May Allah reward you. The listener, Alif-Ha from Jeddah, says: I ask the Shaykh about the ruling on saying "May Allah be upon you" instead of swearing an oath by saying "I ask you by Allah." Many people utter this. May you be rewarded?

Answer:
One does not say "May Allah be upon you" or "May Allah be for you," but rather asks for his need. If he says, "By Allah, I ask you to give me such-and-such," or "I ask you by Allah to give me such-and-such," there is no harm, but it is better to leave that out and simply say, "Give me such-and-such," without saying "I ask you by Allah." This is based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) If he says "I ask you by Allah," it may put the one asked in a difficult position; because if he does not give it to him, he would be contradicting the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and thus he would be put in a difficult position. Otherwise, the default is that it is permissible to say, "I ask you by Allah to give me such-and-such." As for saying "May Allah be upon you" or "May Allah be for you," these are phrases to be avoided, and a person should not utter them. Yes.
