The answer

If a married woman supplicates for a man to get married, or a man supplicates for his brother to marry a specific woman, the statement of the angel, "And to you be the like," does not mean that the supplicant will get married. Rather, it means that the supplicant will receive a good that is similar to the benefit of the marriage supplicated for, because a woman cannot be married to two men, and a man cannot marry a married woman. Thus, the similarity here lies in the benefit and good, not in the exact thing supplicated for, and it varies according to the condition of the supplicant. And whoever asks Allah for the wasilah for the Prophet (peace be upon him) will attain his intercession, but will not attain the rank of wasilah because it is exclusive to the Prophet (peace be upon him).
