Mentioning the benefits related to this supplication.

The Shaykh : In this supplication, there are several issues. The first issue is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is a human being who possesses no power to benefit or harm himself. The second is that we were commanded to supplicate for him. Thirdly, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is the best of creation, for the means of approach (wasilah) is not attained except for him specifically, and it is known that the reward is in proportion to the value of the one who rewards. There is also a point of discussion in his saying, "Give Muhammad the wasilah." Why did we not say, or why was it not prescribed to say, "Give the Messenger of Allah the wasilah," but rather it was said, "Give Muhammad"? And how do we reconcile this with His saying, the Exalted, according to one of the interpretations, that the meaning is: "Do not call him by his name as some of you call one another,"

The questioner : except that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was not the only one to share in it?

The Shaykh : No.

The questioner : Because this supplication was legislated by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so it is obligatory for us to follow and imitate him.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : It indicates his need for Allah, Mighty and Majestic.

The Shaykh : Ah?

The questioner : It indicates his need for Allah, Mighty and Majestic.

The Shaykh : Yes, no, Khalid.

The questioner : Do not make the supplication to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) as if it were during his lifetime.

The Shaykh : Yes, no.

The questioner : Because saying "Muhammad" is appropriate for the occasion, for he is praised in this occasion on the Day of Resurrection.

The Shaykh : What Allah willed, excellent.

The questioner : Because we did not supplicate to him as we supplicate to Allah, nor did we address him, nor did we supplicate to him.

The Shaykh : That is, it means distinguishing between the statement and the supplication, or not? Between the statement and the supplication. For example, when we supplicate to him, and of course, in his lifetime now, we cannot supplicate to him now by saying "O Messenger of Allah"; we do not say "O Muhammad." Therefore, no one says "O Muhammad" when addressing the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), except the Bedouins who did not know the limits of what Allah revealed to His Messenger. But in the matter of reporting, there is no harm in it. Allah the Exalted said, And we also say, "O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad." We do not say, "O Allah, send blessings upon the Messenger of Allah," or do we say it? No, we do not say it. That is, in the sending of blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), in the prayer, in the tashahhud, we do not say "O Allah, send blessings upon the Messenger of Allah"; we say "O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad." But we say, "Peace be upon you, O Prophet," because we were commanded to do so. The important thing is that the criterion in this is what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) taught us. When he said, "Give Muhammad the wasilah," and not "Give the Messenger of Allah the wasilah," we said that this is what is prescribed. This is what is prescribed, and it does not contradict the verse. And there is another saying in the verse, that it is from the chapter of adding the source to its actor, not to its object. The form of this, according to the first assumption, is that the supplication to the Messenger is from the chapter of adding the source to its object, meaning your supplication to the Messenger. There is another saying that it is from the chapter of adding the source to its actor, meaning the Messenger's supplication to you. That is, do not make the Messenger's supplication, when he supplicates to you, like the supplication of some of you to one another, where if you wish, you answer, and if you wish, you do not answer. Rather, it is obligatory upon you to answer. And for this reason, it was among the specific attributes of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that if he calls a person, even in prayer, it is obligatory to answer him. Yes.

The questioner : Shaykh, review.

The Shaykh : The time has not ended.

The questioner : O Shaykh, the review of the lesson.

The Shaykh : The next lesson will be a review, if Allah wills.

The questioner : Shaykh, the addition, O Shaykh.
