How do we respond to those who cite the hadith of the blind man to justify their innovated tawassul?

The Shaykh : The point is that this blind man did not have patience with his affliction, even though the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated a hadith qudsi from his Lord (Blessed and Exalted is He). Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said: ; so this blind man, too, if he had been patient with his affliction, would have had Paradise, just like that black woman. But people are of different natures. The Messenger (peace be upon him) gave him the choice between making a supplication for him and being patient. So here, since the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him the choice between two things and he chose the supplication, we must keep in mind that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) will make a supplication for him. This point is very necessary so that you understand how the argument is established against those innovators who have forgotten the prescribed tawassul in favor of the innovated, impermissible tawassul. You do not find these people who seek nearness to Allah through the prophets, the awliya (close friends of Allah), and the righteous ones. You hardly hear one of them say: "O Allah, I ask You by the fact that You are Allah, the One, the Eternal Refuge. I ask You by Your beautiful names." You do not hear from them any tawassul except tawassul that is mixed, as if the matter is completely reversed and inverted. That is the nature of innovations in relation to the Sunnah. This is a hadith narrated from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), but its chain of narration is not authentic, though it is true in reality. Observation confirms that whenever an innovation is introduced, a Sunnah is killed. Take this example: One of them enters the mosque and prays with the Muslim congregation. He had not seen his companion before. As soon as he comes out of the mosque, he sees him coming out with him and says to him, "May Allah accept it," but he does not greet him first. This is a right of a Muslim over another Muslim: if you meet him, greet him. Another person comes and finds his companion performing wudu' (the ablution for prayer), but he does not greet him first; he says to him, "Zamzam." And so on. No innovation is introduced except that a Sunnah is killed. The matter is tangible, as if touched by hand, O brothers. This matter is of that kind: the innovated tawassul has killed the prescribed tawassul. Their arguments are weaker than a spider's web. And here we are now dealing with what they consider the strongest of their arguments in terms of narration, and the weakest of their arguments in terms of knowledge. So this hadith of the blind man: why did he come to the Messenger? To ask him for a supplication. The Messenger gave him the choice between patience and supplication, so he chose the supplication. Therefore, it is necessary that the Messenger made a supplication for him. And this will be confirmed in what follows:
