The ruling on saying "The Chosen One said" and "The Truth said"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: The practice of many people nowadays, when they learn the Book of Allah, is to say, "The Chosen One, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), said." And when we look at the guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the guidance of his Companions, we find that they say, "Allah the Exalted said" and "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said." So what is your guidance regarding the difference between these two expressions?
Answer:
As for saying "The Chosen One (peace and blessings be upon him) said," there is no harm in it, because he (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Chosen One,[Al-Hajj 22:75], and they are among the chosen ones of good character in our view, for Allah chose Adam, Noah, the family of Ibrahim, and the family of 'Imran over all the worlds. So I am satisfied with saying "The Chosen One said." It is a form of praise for him (peace and blessings be upon him). And if one says "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said," , that is more noble and excellent. But we do not say that the expression "The Chosen One" is inappropriate. It is absolutely appropriate. As for saying "The Truth said," intending Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), this requires consideration, because this phrase came from Allah in the context of reporting information, as indicated by [Al-Hajj 22:62]. If it is in the context of reporting information, there is no harm. However, regarding it being one of His names, "The Truth," this requires further consideration. Yes.

Allah chooses from the angels messengers and from the people
اللَّهُ يَصْطَفِي مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ رُسُلًا وَمِنَ النَّاسِThis is the original. And there is no doubt.
هذا هو الأصل. ولا شكAllah is the Truth, and that which they call upon other than Him is falsehood, and because Allah is the Most High, the Grand.
اللَّهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ وَأَنَّ مَا يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ هُوَ الْبَاطِلُ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْكَبِيرُ
