Question:
All right, Honorable Shaykh, regarding the issue of adding "our master" to Abu Bakr or 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), is there any evidence for this when we mention the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them all)?
Answer:
This is something that has no evidence, especially in the sermon. It is not reported that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) or any of his Companions said "our master," even though they were masters and the greatest of them in mastery was the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yet it is not reported that "our master" is said when sending blessings upon him in the sermon. We follow and do not innovate.
So this is what is required. The fact that one does not say "our master 'Umar" or "our master 'Uthman" or "our master Abu Bakr" or "our master 'Ali" is following the evidence. We love them, honor them, respect them, and follow their example, but we do not attribute to them anything for which there is no evidence. Yes.
