Ibn Taymiyya RH wrote a Hadith in his book Sirat al Mustaqeem.....

"A person came to the blessed grave of the Messenger of Allah ( صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم ) and requested food from the Prophet ( صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) and sat down. After a while a Hashmi [a member of the Prophet’s – صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم ] family came to him. He had with him a tray of food, and said, “this food has been sent by the Prophet, ( صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) and with it he gave a message: Eat it and leave from here because whoever loves us does not make this kind of desire”. (Iqtida as-Sirat al Mustaqim, pg. 290).

He RH also wrote.....

"Some people came to the grave of our Prophet Mohammad ( صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم ) and requested something, and their needs were fulfilled. In the same way, the pious people can also fulfill the needs of people – and we do not deny this." (Iqtida as Sirat al-Mustaqim, – pg. 373)

Did ibn Taymiyya RH view istighatha as unproblematic based on these accounts?
