The ruling on seeking intercession through the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in supplication

Question:
This questioner, whose name is Ayn, Mim, Sad, asks, Honorable Shaykh, about this supplication. He says he read it in one of the supplications. The wording of this supplication is: “O Allah, I turn to You through Your Prophet, our master Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the Prophet of Mercy. O my master, I turn to You through him to my Lord in this need of mine, so that You may fulfill it. O Allah, grant him intercession for me, and grant me intercession for myself.”

Answer:
If you had said from the beginning, “O Allah, grant intercession for Your Messenger,” that would have been the correct and established form. As for turning to Allah through the Prophet, that is an innovation. This is an innovated supplication. Asking by status, by the person, or by the right, none of these are permissible, because they are innovated supplications. Yes.
