The ruling on saying "Our Master" in the salutation upon the Prophet

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Abu Rashid says in this question: In our salutation upon the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), do we use the phrase "O Allah, send blessings upon our master Muhammad"?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, except in the sermons, for it has not been reported. If one says, "I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger," he does not say "our master," because this has not been reported in the Friday sermon. Rather, he says, "O Allah, send blessings and peace upon Your slave and Your Messenger, our Prophet Muhammad. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger." So in the places where the title "master" has not been mentioned, it is not used, especially in acts of worship. As for everything else, the matter is broad.
However, he (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked a group of people who said to him, "You are our master and the son of our master," so he rebuked them. This was understood to refer to addressing a person directly with praise. Praising a person to his face is prohibited. As for the salutation upon him and saying "our master" and describing him (peace and blessings be upon him) with his attributes, this is permissible. It is part of speaking of Allah's blessings and recognizing the status of this Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
