Does this phrase (I sacrifice for you, not for your sacrifice, O intercessor of creation…) contain a call for aid?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Peace be upon you. Your Eminence, father, the questioner says: This phrase was written on one of the cars: “I sacrifice for you, not for your sacrifice, O intercessor of creation, O leader of the nation, O best of the prophets.” Does this contain a call to the dead?

The Shaykh:
It is not a call for aid, but rather a mental evocation. That is what they call evocation: evoking him (peace and blessings be upon him) in the mind. Is this not a form of calling for aid? Yes, if his intention is to call for aid, that is one thing, but it does not appear that this is his intention. Yes.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, father, the questioner says: In the Fajr prayer.

The Shaykh:
In the final tashahhud, in the first tashahhud, “Peace be upon you, O Prophet” is mentioned in the hadith
Peace be upon you, O Prophetالصحيح السلام عليك أيها النبي
Sunan an-Nasa'i 1171Sahih (Darussalam)
This is not a call to the Messenger, but rather a mental evocation of him (peace and blessings be upon him).
