The answer

The saying "May Allah prolong your days" is considered an transgression in supplication because the perpetuation of days is impossible and contradicts the words of Allah Almighty: ﴿Everyone upon the earth will perish, And there will remain the Face of your Lord, Owner of Majesty and Honor﴾ [Ar-Rahman: 26-27] and His saying: ﴿And We did not grant to any human being before you immortality; so if you should die, would they then be immortal?﴾ [Al-Anbiya: 34].
