Saying: You are the master of the knowers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on saying to a person, "You are the master of the knowers"?

Answer:
This is among the phrases of the Sufis. They have the concept of "the knowers," and this is one of their expressions. This speech is not permissible; it is an exaggeration and an excess in praise.
