Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is this supplication, "O Allah, grant us faith like that of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Companions," an overstepping in supplication?
Answer:
Yes, like the faith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) or like the faith of Jibril, there is no doubt that this is asking for something you do not reach and do not deserve. You are asking for the rank of the Prophet in Paradise, like this. One does not ask Allah for this, but rather like the righteous and like the believers only. Yes.
