Is supplication answered at the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), as some jurists mention?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: We read in the books of many scholars the encouragement to visit the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and that it is a place for the answering of supplication, as mentioned by the author of al-Mughni and others. Is this statement correct?

Answer:
No, this is not correct, even if the author of al-Mughni or others mentioned it, because it is contrary to the Sunnah. Jurists usually follow the opinion of those who came before them and those they follow, transmitting it as it is, so this carries no weight. Yes, this is contrary to the Sunnah. Yes.
