The ruling on saying "our master" when mentioning the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner asks: Is it obligatory to say "our master Muhammad" when mentioning the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? Likewise, when mentioning his Companions, is it obligatory to say "our master"?
The Shaykh:
Yes, the Messenger is called "our master Muhammad" (peace and blessings be upon him); he is our master, upon him be peace and blessings. The Companions who came to him and said, "You are our master," were prohibited from doing so because he feared they would go to extremes in his praise. If this is said without going to extremes, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father.
The Shaykh:
No, because this is not said in the adhan, nor in the khutbah, nor in the tashahhud, as there is no report that it is said in the adhan, the khutbah, or the tashahhud. It is only said in places of honoring him (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
The presenter:
