The ruling on adding the phrase "our master" in prayer and the call to prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And the Shaykh. The Muslims and the last of the Muslims and others from the people of the [unclear]. O Allah, send blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions, and peace.
Answer:
This is what has been transmitted; in prayer, one only says the phrases that have been transmitted. It has not been transmitted that we say "our master Muhammad" or "our master Ibrahim" in prayer. This is considered a religious innovation (bid'ah). Likewise, in the call to prayer, it is not permissible for the mu'adhdhin to say "I bear witness that our master..." If he said it, people would say it is a bid'ah, and the scholars said this is a bid'ah. This was not transmitted in the call to prayer. In acts of worship, nothing is permissible except with evidence; one restricts oneself to what has been transmitted.
As for describing the Messenger as "our master," this is true, and he is our master (peace and blessings be upon him). But in acts of worship and the transmitted phrases, nothing is added to them in prayer, in the sermon, or elsewhere. Nothing is added to them. We stop at our limit, we give only what has been transmitted, and we do not add anything to it from our knowledge. "Our master" was not transmitted in the final tashahhud, nor in the call to prayer, nor in the iqamah, nor in the Friday sermon. It was not transmitted.
