One of the issues of concern to Islamic religions is requesting from divine superiors. The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him), as the supreme creation of God before the life in this world, while living and after the life in this world, has been playing a role in the universe. Resorting of the past apostles to the holy Prophet (peace be upon him) and Resignation of their prayer, miracles of the Prophet during worldly life and seek forgiveness for believers in the infernal life are three examples of the influence of the Prophet (peace be upon him) on existence. Islamic religions emphasize the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) request for salvation. Meanwhile, hard-line Wahhabi groups have complained about the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) influence in purgatory, believing that it is not permissible to resort to prayer, supplication and intercession in the purgatory life, and consider these things as infidelity and began comminating Muslims. The Qur’an, as a common affair among Muslims, not only affirms the permission to seek the prophet (peace be upon him) in purgatory life, but also decreed its preference. In addition to the 64th verse of Nesa’ Surah, which explicitly conditions the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) prayer for those who seek forgiveness from God, the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) request for forgiveness when receiving Zakat in verse 103 Tobe Surah, seeking divine grace in verse 32 of Nisan, charity to reach the Prophet’s prayer in verse 99 Tobe, the hope of those who believe in the graves of companions in verse 13 Momtaheneh, and the need to have divine sustenance to attain salvation in verse 35 Maedeh, can be seen from the Qur’anic evidence that encourages believers to seek the Prophet (peace be upon him). Also, the scholars’ understanding of such verses and the manner of the Muslims in resorting to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to fix the needs is one of the other documents that may support this Qur’anic evidence.
