Is the prostration of Mu'adh ibn Jabal to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a prostration of greeting, like the prostration of the brothers of Yusuf to Yusuf?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the prostration of Mu'adh ibn Jabal to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a prostration of greeting, like the prostration of the brothers of Yusuf to Yusuf?

Answer:
Yes, it is a prostration of greeting. The prostration of the angels to Adam, and the prostration of the brothers of Yusuf to Yusuf, is a prostration of greeting, not a prostration of worship. However, this was abrogated in our Shari'ah, so it is not permissible to prostrate to a created being, neither as a greeting nor as worship. Prostration is for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
