The answer

A Muslim's supplication that Allah protect him from the harm of His servants is not an transgression in supplication; rather, it is a good and praiseworthy act in Islamic law, because harming Allah's servants without a rightful religious cause is not permissible. The Holy Qur'an warns against this in Surat Al-Ahzab: ﴿And those who harm believing men and believing women for [something] other than what they have earned have certainly borne slander and manifest sin.﴾ There are similar reported supplications, among them the saying: "And I seek refuge in You, O Allah, from wronging or being wronged, or transgressing or being transgressed against, or committing a sin or an unforgivable transgression."
