Supplication by the Right of the Hour or the Day

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible for me to say when making supplication, “O Allah, I ask You by the right of this blessed hour,” or “by the right of this great day, such as the day of…”?

Answer:
Supplication by the right of a created being. Not the Messenger, nor anyone else. This is not permissible. The hour is a created thing, my brother. The hour is a created time. So do not seek nearness to Allah through a created being. Yes.
