Similarly, Ibn Hajr al-Asqalani (Shaafi) in his Tahdhib al-Tahdhibrelates viaImam al-Hakim al-Nishapuri that:
وقال الحاكم سمعت أبا علي النيسابوري يقول كنت في غم شديد فرأيت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فيالمنام كأنه يقول لي صر إلى قبر يحيى بن يحيى واستغفر وسل تقض حاجتك فأصبحت ففعلت ذلكفقضيت حاجتي.

Imam al-Hakim heard Imam Abu Ali al-Naysaburi saying, when he had extreme distress he saw the Prophet (peace be upon him) in his dream who said to go to the grave of Yahya bin Yahya(who is among the teachers of Imam Muslim) and to seek forgiveness and ask for his needs, and that he did so and his needs were obtained.

He was one of Ours

First, it quite disturbing that you are using an example of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam), the like of whom never existed nor will, to justify asking your dead “saints” who one does not even know if they were saints!

Second the book you mentioned of Ibn Hajar is a book on Asmaa ur rijaal in which Jarh and Tadeel of narrators is given. It is not a book like Fath Al-Baari which is a book of explanation of Hadith in which Ibn Hajar puts forth his views.

Rather Tahdheeb is a book in which the Jarh and Tadeel of narrators is mentioned and what they did.

Ibn Hajars position is that it is a bidah! The position you quoted is of Imam Abu Ali al-Naysaburi !!!
