The answer

Do not supplicate for your friend that Allah should long for him, because the word "longing" (shawq) has not been mentioned in the Qur’an or as being attributed to Allah. Whereas "love" (mahabbah) has been mentioned, and it is more complete and nobler than "longing" in its linguistic connotation. Allah is described by the most perfect and highest attributes.
