from fatawa ridawiyyah, vol.26, p.609
when we wish to convey the reward of something to rasulAllah sallAllahu 'alaihi wasallam, the prophets or the awliya, we must be careful which words we use.
alaHazrat says:
to convey the reward of anything to Allah ta'ala is ignorance as He is free from this need. He is Ghani al-MuTlaq. to say, "thawab bakhshna" [give reward] is disrespectful to the prophets or the awliya as "bakhshna" is used to mean a bigger person giving to a smaller one. he should say "nazr karna" [dedicate] or "hadya karna" [present] as this is free from disrespect.
