*⚪️. Tawassul by the honor of the Prophet or someone else's is not permissible:*
As far as the narration: _(When you ask Allah, seek access to Him through my honor because my honor is great with Allah.)_ - This is a forged Hadilh which does not exist in reliable Muslim works, nor is quoted by any Hadith scholars. *[Majmou al-Fatawa 1/318-319]*.

*⚪️. Tawassul by the persons of people is not permissible*, because the article 'by' is used for an oath (ex. by so & so) as to adjure Allah by one of His creatures. So if adjuring a person by another person is not permissible, then by right, adjuring Allah by a creature is more so. But if the article „by' is used to denote cause, Allah does not make adjuring by creatures as a cause for His response, nor does He legalize it.

*⚪️. Tawassul by creatures is not permissible for two reasons:*
*🔷First:* No right of anyone can be made incumbent upon Allah, rather, it is He Who gratuitously bestows His bounty on His slave, as He says: *“And it was certainly due from Us to help the believers.”* (30:47)
Since the obedient deserves the reward, he deserves it only out of graciousness and favor from Allah. It is not a right due to the slave to be demanded from Allah, as a creature demands his rights from another.

*🔷Second:* Such right which Allah has gracefully granted His slave is to be given only to that particular slave, no one else. So if someone else made Tawassul by that right he would be adjuring Allah by a thing to which he is not entitled, and it would not avail him. As for the Hadith which includes the following Tawassul - _(I adjure you by the rights of supplicant)_ It is not confirmed as a Hadith, because its chain of narrators includes Atiya al-Aufi, whose authority is weak. Besides, the Hadith scholars are agreed upon this.

▪️ *The Ruling of Isti'anah and Istighathah through a Creature.*
➖➖➖

*Isti'anah, seeking the help and support in certain things.*
Istighathah, seeking relief, or the removal of difficulties. Isti'anah and Istighathah from creatures are of two kinds:
*▫️The first:* The Isti'anah and the Istighathah from a creature in things which he can do or offer is permissible. Allah, the Exalted says: *“And help one another in righteousness and piety.”* (5:2). And Allah, the Exalted, says: *“And he who was of his sect sought his help against him who was of his enemies.”* (28:15).

*▫️The second:* Isti'anah and Istighathah from a creature in things that only Allah can do, such as seeking help from a dead, or seeking relief from a living creature, for things that only Allah can do, such as healing the sick, relieving the distressed and warding off evil. Such are not permissible and constitute major Shirk. There was a hypocrite during the time of the Prophet who used to offend the believers. They said to each other, 'Let's go to the Messenger of Allah and seek relief from this hypocrite.' The Prophet said: _*“No relief should be sought from me; rather from Allah only.”*_ (At-Tabarani).
__*PAGE 7*__.
✍️...

The Prophet disliked the term *"seeking relief‟* to be applied to him. Although he was capable of responding to them, but he wanted to safeguard the creed of Tawhid, thus to allow no excuse, in saying or doing things that are conducive to Shirk. And out of his politeness being courteous and humble to Allah.

In the meantime, he warned his Ummah against all means of Shirk, in terms of utterances and actions. If the Prophet did not respond to his Companions in a matter which he was capable of during his lifetime; how then can one seek relief from him after his death, and request him to fulfill things that only Allah can do`? Since it is not permissible to seek relief from him then by right it is more so seeking it from others. *[Fath al Majid 196-197]*

*The incumbency of loving the Messenger of Allah, and revering him.* Prohibition of praising him excessively. Status and Rank of the Prophet
➖➖➖

*▪️. The incumbency of loving the Messenger of Allah, and revering him.*
The slave must first love Allah, Glory be to Him, as one of the greatest acts of worship. Allah, the Exalted, said: *“But those who believe love Allah more.”* (2:165)
Because He is the Rubb Who generously grants His slaves all of the graces, seen and the unseen thereof.
___*PAGE 10*___.
✍️...

Next to the love of Allah, the Exalted, comes the love of His Messenger because it was he who invited people to Allah, and taught them who Allah is, and conveyed His Shariah and clarified His rulings. Thus, whatever the believers obtained of goodness in this world and the world to come, it is only through His Messenger. According to the Hadith: _*"Three traits, whoever possesses them shall experience the sweetness of Iman: To love Allah and His Messenger more than anyone else. To love a man only for the sake of Allah, and to hate to return to infidelity after Allah has delivered him from it as much as he hates to be thrown into Fire.”*_ [Agreed upon (i.e. Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawood, At Tirmidhi, An-Nasai and Ibn Majah)].
