And by Allah, if the Messenger were pleased with our supplication to him, we would hasten to submit. And by Allah, if the Messenger were pleased with our prostration to him, we would fall down before him on our faces.

The Shaykh : He said, may Allah have mercy on him:
"And by Allah, if the Messenger were pleased with our supplication to him, we would hasten to submit"
True, if the Messenger had said to us, "Call upon me," we would have called upon him, but far be it from him to say that.
"And by Allah, if the Messenger were pleased with our prostration to him, we would fall down before him on our faces"
Yes, if he had said, "Prostrate to me," we would have prostrated to him on our faces. But he (peace and blessings be upon him) came to prohibit that most strongly, prohibiting that anyone call upon him or prostrate to him.
