There are three methods of asking:
1. Asking through the tongue
2. Asking through one’s condition. One makes their condition appear such they are bringing attention to themselves ie in one way asking.
3. Asking not verbally but indirectly in a deceptive manner.
Abdur Rahman ibn ‘Awf reported: Prophet

(Musnad Ahmad 1674)
Abdullah ibn Umar reported: The Prophet

(Bukhari 1405, Muslim 1040)
We don’t ask other human beings. If we have to ask, we ask Allah and display this ‘asking from Allah’ not to others.
