In the hadith, “Do not praise me as the Christians praised…” The Sufis say that the intended meaning of praise is to say, “Muhammad is God”?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the hadith of the Prophet , the Sufis say that the intended meaning of the praise mentioned in this hadith is to say that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is God, just as the Christians said, and that any praise other than that is permissible, such as the Mawlid and other things. Is their statement correct?

Answer:
This is a distortion of the words of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger prohibited praise, which is exaggeration in his praise (peace and blessings be upon him). When some delegations said to him, “You are our master and the son of our master, you are the best of us and the son of the best of us,” he said, “Say some of what you said, or say what you said, or some of what you said. I am only a servant, the servant of Allah and His Messenger. I do not like for you to raise me above my station.” They had only said, “You are our master,” and he is indeed our master (peace and blessings be upon him). And “the best of us,” yes, he is indeed the best of us (peace and blessings be upon him). But he feared for them regarding exaggeration, so he prohibited them and forbade them from it. When the Companions came to him and a hypocrite had harmed them, they said, “Let us go and seek help from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) against this hypocrite.” He (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “One does not seek help through me, but only through Allah.” He feared for them regarding exaggeration. They did not reach the level of the Christians, as this fabricator claims. They did not reach the level of the Christians’ statement. The Messenger sought help in his life; he sought help and was able to restrain this hypocrite. But he feared for them regarding exaggeration. And when it was said to him , he (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited exaggeration regarding his rights, even if it did not reach the exaggeration of the Christians regarding Jesus. Yes.
