The ruling on saying "Our Master" regarding the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: We always hear in the biography of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the phrase "Our Master Muhammad," "Our Lady Aisha," and "Our Master Hamzah." The question is: What is the ruling on saying "Our Master"? And is it one of the names of Allah the Exalted?

Answer:
The Master is Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
(peace and blessings be upon him) when they said to him, "You are our master" or "Our master," he said, "The Master is Allah."صلى الله عليه وسلم لما قالوا له أنت سيدنا أو سيدنا قال السيد الله.
This falls under the category of blocking the means to harm, specifically blocking excess. He feared excess for them. Otherwise, he is the Master (peace and blessings be upon him); the Master of creation is the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He is the Master, but he feared excess for them and forbade them from it. When they said to him, "You are our master and the son of our master, and the best of us and the son of the best of us," he feared excess for them and that Satan would lead them astray, so he forbade them from it. Yes.
