The answer

The supplication, "O Allah, join me with the Most Exalted Companion," is permissible for someone who is facing death, but it is disliked for others because it is a wish for death, which is forbidden. However, if the wish for death is unintentional, there is no sin in it, based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Indeed, Allah has pardoned for my nation their mistakes, their forgetfulness, and what they are forced to do." Some scholars have mentioned that a person's supplication against himself is not answered. As for the hour of acceptance on Friday, there is a difference of opinion among scholars regarding its exact time.
