Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is the word "our master" permissible for Abu Bakr and the rest of the Companions? And is there a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying, "Do not call yourselves masters in prayer"?
Answer:
Is there a hadith saying "Do not call yourselves masters in prayer"? I do not know; I am not sure. As for saying "our master Abu Hurayrah" or "our master Abu Bakr," this is a form of estimation by some people; they consider it an expression of their estimation and respect for them. There is nothing wrong with that, if Allah wills. Yes.
