Transgression in Supplication and Its Example

Question:
The questioner, Abu Ibrahīm, has a set of questions, the first of which is about transgression in supplication and what its example is?

Answer:
Transgression in supplication is to curse a person who does not deserve to be cursed with the Fire, with a curse, or with punishment, when he does not deserve it. This is a form of transgression in supplication. Another form of transgression in supplication is to ask for something that is not suitable for him, such as asking for the ranks of the prophets or asking Allah to make him a prophet; this is not suitable for him. Likewise, transgression in supplication includes cursing one’s children, because it may coincide with a time or a moment when supplication is answered, so Allah answers his supplication; therefore, one should avoid this. This is a form of transgression in supplication. Also, transgression in supplication includes making a supplication that is not reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and is not in accordance with the Shari'ah. He should supplicate with the supplications from the Book and the Sunnah, or with what is in accordance with the Book and the Sunnah. Yes.
