Question:
What is the ruling on one who says, in a great matter, “O Messenger of Allah”?
Answer:
This is shirk (associating partners with Allah), and may Allah protect us from it. It is calling upon other than Allah, calling upon the dead and the absent, and seeking their help. This is shirk. This is calling upon other than Allah, the Exalted.[Al-Jinn 72:18] [Ghafir 40:14] sincere to Him in your calling. Do not call upon Allah and call upon other than Him, not the Messenger and not anyone else. The Messenger said, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: [Al-Jinn 72:21].
The Messenger is only a messenger who conveys the message from Allah. As for bringing about good or warding off harm without his Lord, the Exalted,[Al-Jinn 72:21] and calling upon him after his death and seeking his help is major shirk, just like calling upon anyone else. Yes.

And [He revealed] that the masjids are for Allah, so do not invoke with Allah anyone.
وَأَنَّ الْمَسَاجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلَا تَدْعُوا مَعَ اللَّهِ أَحَدًاSo invoke Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion
فَادْعُوا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَSay, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction."
قُلْ إِنِّي لَا أَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا رَشَدًاThe Messenger is only a messenger who conveys the message from Allah. As for bringing about good or warding off harm without his Lord, the Exalted,
Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction."
إِنِّي لَا أَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا رَشَدًا
