Question:
The questioner says: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) rebuked the man who said, "O our master and son of our master," and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 4806Sahih (Al-Albani), is the prohibition of saying "our master" to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) due to dislike (makruh) or prohibition (haram)?
Answer:
No, this applies when the person is present. One does not praise a person to his face. If one says to his face, "You are our master," that is not done. However, if one says, "So-and-so is our master, our leader," there is no harm in that when he is absent. Yes. And those who said this to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said it in his presence, and they were feared to be exaggerating in his praise.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
