The people of misguidance say, "It is established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returns the salam, so likewise, if he is called upon, he invokes Allah for the one who asks!"

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. When a person dies, his deeds are cut off except for three things, as in the hadith. And there is a hadith that Allah returns the spirit of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to him to return the salam. So the people of innovation say that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returns the salam, and just as he returns the salam, so if he is called upon, he invokes Allah for the one who asks. How is this answered?

Answer:
This is false; this is false speech. Because the return of his spirit for the salam is specific to the salam only, and nothing else is to be analogized to it. Also, this return is not one that fulfills a need for you; he only returns the salam. This is specific, and nothing else is to be analogized to it. Also, there is nothing in it that fulfills a need for you, or that he invokes for you, or seeks forgiveness for you; he only returns the salam. Yes.
