Erasing the Accusation of Shirk

not ask the sinners to directly supplicate for themselves, but He commanded
them to ask His Rasulullah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) to
make the supplication on their behalf and then Allah would forgive them!
024.062 They only are the true believers who believe in Allah and His
messenger and, when they are with him on some common errand, go not
away until they have asked leave of him. Lo! those who ask leave of
thee, those are they who believe in Allah and His messenger. So, if they
ask thy leave for some affair of theirs, give leave to whom thou wilt of
them, and ask for them forgiveness of Allah. Lo! Allah is Forgiving,
Merciful.
In this verse, Allah is commanding His Messenger to ask for forgiveness on
behalf of those obedient and righteous people. We should all notice how
Allah did not ask the people to pray for themselves, but commanded the
Messenger himself to make supplication for those righteous people. The
simple reason is because the supplication of the Prophets or pious are
accepted more rapidly.
060.012 O Prophet! If believing women come unto thee, taking oath of
allegiance unto thee that they will ascribe no thing as partner unto Allah,
and will neither steal nor commit adultery nor kill their children, nor
produce any lie that they have devised between their hands and feet, nor
disobey thee in what is right, then accept their allegiance and ask Allah to
forgive them. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Once again in this verse, Allah is commanding the Messenger to supplicate
for those women who had pledged allegiance to the Prophet and promised
they would be truthful etc. Once more, this proves that supplicating on
someone’s behalf is permissible as many Messengers were commanded to
do so.
THE HYPOCRITES DID NOT WANT THE PROPHETS
OR THE PIOUS TO PRAY FOR THEM
063.005 And when it is said unto them: Come! The messenger of Allah will
ask forgiveness for you! they avert their faces and thou seest them turning
away, disdainful.
