The Ruling on Exaggeration in Loving the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and Placing Him in a Position Other Than His

Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on exaggeration in loving the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and placing him in a position other than his?

Answer:
Before answering this question, regarding the question about obsessive thoughts (waswas): if you do not speak them, they do not harm you. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “I have been forgiven for my nation for mistakes, forgetfulness, and what .” So mere thoughts and passing ideas do not harm. A person should seek refuge in Allah from Satan, leave the obsessive thoughts, not pay attention to them, and never worry about them.
As for exaggeration regarding the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and elevating him above his position, this is something the Messenger forbade, meaning do not exaggerate, do not exaggerate in .
When some men said to him, “You are our master and the son of our master,” he said to them, “Say what you say, or part of what you say, and do not let Satan lure you. I am the servant of Allah and His Messenger.” He forbade them from saying to him, “You are our master and the son of our master,” because if they said this in his presence (peace and blessings be upon him), it would involve exaggeration.
Otherwise, he is our master (peace and blessings be upon him) without doubt, but he forbade them from saying this in his presence (peace and blessings be upon him). When there was a hypocrite in the time of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) who was harming the believers, some of them said, “Let us go to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and seek refuge in him from the harm of this hypocrite.” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “One does not seek refuge in me; rather, one seeks refuge in Allah, Mighty and Majestic.”
So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade exaggeration regarding his rights and ordered that he be called “the servant of Allah and His Messenger.” He is the servant of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Messenger of Allah, and this is sufficient honor for him (peace and blessings be upon him). The questioner asks: What is the ruling on performing ablution from water coolers if the time for prayer has arrived and the restrooms are crowded?
The wording of the hadith I quoted is that one does not seek aid from me. Some of the Companions said, “Let us go and seek aid from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) from this hypocrite.” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “One does not seek aid from me; rather, one seeks aid from Allah.” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade them from this wording because it involved exaggeration. Yes.
