Supplication for the removal of showing off from the heart, and what constitutes transgression in supplication

The questioner : Honorable Shaykh, is supplication for the removal of showing off from the heart considered a transgression in supplication? Shaykh, this is a question with two parts. Yes, Shaykh, is supplication for the removal of showing off from the heart considered a transgression in supplication?

The Shaykh : Supplication for the removal of showing off from the heart is among the best supplications, because if you ask Allah to remove showing off from your heart, you are asking Allah the Exalted to protect you from shirk (associating partners with Allah), for showing off is a type of shirk. It was mentioned in the hadith: So asking Allah the Exalted to remove showing off from the heart is not a transgression in supplication; it is a required supplication. As for transgression in supplication, it is when a person asks his Lord for what is impossible, such as saying, "O Allah, make me a prophet." This is forbidden.
Because that is not possible after the sending of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), for Allah said: . Or supplicating by a name. Asking Allah the Exalted for what is not permissible for him. To ask that Allah facilitate.
