Anwar Shah al-Kashmiri over Tawassul

Anwar Shah al-Kashmiri zegt in zijn "Sharh van al-Bukharee":

قوله: (اللهُمَّ أَنَّا كُنَّا نَتَوَسَّلُ إليك بِنَبِيِّنَا صلى الله عليه وسلّم ليس فيه التوسلُ المعهودُ الذي يكون بالغائب حتى قد لايكون به شعورٌ أصلا، بل فيه توسُّلُ السَّلف، وهو أن يُقَدِّم رجلا وذا وجاهةٍ عند الله تعالى ويأمرَه أن يدعو لهم، ثم يحيل عليه في دعائه، كما فُعل بالعبَّاس رضي الله عنه عَمِّ النبيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلّم ولو كان فيه توسُّلُ المتأخرين لما احتاجوا إلى إِذْهَاب العبّاس رضي الله عنه معهم، ولكفى لهم التوسُّل بنبيهم بعد وفاتِه أيضًا، أو بالعباس رضي الله عنه مع عدمِ شهوده معهم.

His saying: "Oh Allah we used to do tawassul through our Prophet" - doesn't mean the tawassul that is known that is by the abscent, and no feeling might even be with it, but in it is the tawassul of the Salaf, which is to bring forward a man with a wajaha 'endallah (not sure how to translate it) and to order him to make duaa for them (then he mentions him in his duaa?? maybe someone can help me translate this part) like was done with al-Abbas radiyallahu anhu, the uncle of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and if it included the tawassul of the later ones (the khalaf) , they wouldnt' have needed to let al Abbas go with them, and it would have been enough for them to do tawassul through their Prophet after his death also, or through al-Abbas with him not being present with them".
