Ruling on the addition: “by whom needs are fulfilled” in the salutation upon the Prophet

Question:
The questioner says: Some people, when they send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), say, “O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad, by whom needs are fulfilled and by whom distresses are removed,” and so on. What is the ruling on these statements?

Answer:
This addition, “by whom needs are fulfilled” and “by whom distresses are removed,” is an exaggeration in the right of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Is that not so? As for sending blessings and peace upon him, it is a condition upon us that we send blessings and peace upon him. But that needs are fulfilled by him or that distresses are removed by him, that belongs to Allah the Exalted. It is Allah who fulfills needs and it is Allah who removes distresses. What does this have to do with the Messenger? Yes.
