The Ruling on Exaggeration in the Love of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Ali from Riyadh says: What is the ruling on exaggeration in loving the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
Exaggeration is not permissible; Allah has forbidden it, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) has forbidden it. Exaggeration is going beyond the obligatory amount and the prescribed amount. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said:
O People of the Scripture, do not exceed limits in your religion beyond the truthيَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ لَا تَغْلُوا فِي دِينِكُمْ غَيْرَ الْحَقِّ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:77]
, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Beware of exaggeration,إياكم والغلو،
Exaggeration in loving the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and going beyond that is not permissible, and exaggeration in the rights of others is even less permissible. The path of moderation and fairness is the revelation.
