Imaam adh-Dhahabee stated in Siyar A’laam an-Nubalaa (10/518):
Muhammad b. Yahyaa adh-Dhuhlee
(rahimahullaah) said: I heard Yahyaa b. Ma’een say: “Defending the Sunnah is
more virtuous than Jihaad in the Path of Allaah [on the battlefield].” So I
said to him: “A man spends from his wealth, he tires himself out and fights,
yet this one [who defends the Sunnah] is better than him?!” He replied: “Yes,
by a great deal.”

The Ruling of
Requesting Others to Supplicate for you
... So what is correct is that it is not
right for anyone to request from another to supplicate for him, even if it be a
righteous man as that is not from the guidance of the Prophet (salallaahu
‘alaihi wassallam) nor is it from the guidance of the Rightly Guided Caliphs.
