This questioner says, may Allah grant you success: What is the ruling on supplicating with the phrase “O Allah, raise his status” regarding the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
The Shaykh:
His status? Allah has raised his status (peace and blessings be upon him). Allah raised it. We have raised your remembrance[Al-Kawthar 108:1] Yes.
The questioner:
He asks: Is it an overstepping in supplication, because Allah has raised his remembrance (peace and blessings be upon him)?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not an overstepping in supplication. But this is from mentioning Allah’s favor and His blessing upon us and upon our Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). If we mention what Allah mentioned regarding this Messenger, then this is from acknowledging Allah’s favor. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said:[Ad-Duhaa 93:11] So this is from speaking of Allah’s blessings, and it is also something that angers the disbelievers. Yes.
