English translation

1479. An-Nu'mān bin Bashīr narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The supplication (Ad-Du'ā') is (the essence) of worship. Your Lord has said: Call upon Me; I will respond to you."[1] (Saḥīḥ)

Arabic text

1479 - حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ ذَرٍّ، عَنْ يُسَيْعٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " الدُّعَاءُ هُوَ الْعِبَادَةُ، {قَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ} [غافر: 60] "

Commentary

Since supplication is worship, it is quite obvious that supplicating to someone other than Allāh is a form of Shirk.
