The Meaning of Turning to the Prophet in Supplication and the Story of the Blind Man

Question:
She says: I read in one of the books supplications, and among them is this supplication. Is there any issue with the wording: "O Allah, I turn to You through Your Prophet, our master Muhammad, the Prophet of Mercy (peace and blessings be upon him). O our master Muhammad, I turn to You through him to my Lord in this need of mine, so that He may fulfill it for me. O Allah, make him an intercessor for me, and make me an intercessor for myself."

Answer:
This was reported during the lifetime of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the story of the blind man who came to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) asking him to supplicate to Allah for him that Allah would restore his sight. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to perform ablution, pray two rak'ahs, and supplicate with this supplication. The meaning of "turning to You through Your Prophet" is through his supplication (peace and blessings be upon him). As for during his life (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him), but after his death, one does not turn to him (peace and blessings be upon him), nor ask him for supplication while he is dead, nor from any other of the dead. Nothing is asked of them.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and bless you.
