Is there repetition in supplication when the supplicant says: “O Allah, forgive us, our fathers, and our brothers and uncles . . . .”?

The student: ...
The Shaykh : Did they repeat the supplication, or did they repeat the ones for whom they are supplicating? “O Allah, forgive us, our fathers, our descendants, our brothers, our grandmothers, our grandfathers, our maternal aunts, our maternal uncles, our paternal aunts, our paternal uncles, the ancestors, the descendants, and the collateral relatives.” This is not a repetition of the supplication; it is a repetition of the people for whom the supplication is made. And you see that the angels are not currently supplicating except for three categories only: the ancestors, the descendants, and the in-laws (spouses). But in any case, we do not say anything wrong about this, nor do we deny it. However, its lengthening for people with such things may be harmful to people, causing fatigue. Yes.
