The ruling on saying: “Intercession, O Allah” or “Intercession, O Muhammad” without intention

Question:
What is your opinion regarding the one who, when something happens to him, says “Intercession, O Allah” or “Intercession, O Muhammad,” even though he does not intend anything by it; it is merely a habit on his tongue?

Answer:
Saying “Intercession, O Muhammad” is not desired, because Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is dead, and there is no intercession from the dead, nor anything else. And as for saying “Intercession, O Allah,” intercession for whom? He says “O Allah” without specifying the intercession. He says “O Allah, have mercy on me,” “O Allah, heal me,” “O Allah, protect me.” Who is the one who says “Intercession, O Allah”? Say “O Allah, grant me health,” “O Allah, grant me health,” “O Allah, have mercy on me.”
