Is there any issue with the phrase: "Should care from You befall me" and the phrase "within Your sanctuary we alight" within the mentioned verses?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The poem contains blameworthy extremism, as care and facilitation for visiting Taybah (Medina) can only come from Allah. Seeking help from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, after his death is major shirk (polytheism), because he possesses no power to benefit or harm himself, nor can he grant protection or be granted protection. Rather, it is Allah who grants protection and cannot be granted protection. Scholars have unanimously agreed on the disbelief of anyone who sets up intermediaries between himself and Allah, supplicating to them and asking them, because this is akin to the actions of idolaters.
