The Shaykh : ... regarding the reason for the hadith, look, this is the text, not the one that Shaykh Ibn Baz had.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Ah, yes, what do you mean?

The questioner : The grade of the hadith... authentic... .
The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong with this, my master; because making the Messenger a master, or rather making him a master, and he said about himself:Sunan Ibn Majah 4308Sahih (Darussalam), and he said regarding the master of the Ansar: , so he called him a master while he himself—peace be upon him—was a master. So if... in some instances with this term, and nothing was associated with the address that indicated exaggeration in glorification; then it is speech in its proper place, and the hadith that you know when they said to him: You are our master, he said: , and in another hadith he says when a man said: You are our master and the son of our master, and you are the best of us and the son of the best of us, he said: Sunan Abi Dawud 4806Sahih (Al-Albani).
And in this is a reminder of two important things = -- and upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah and His blessings -- = : The first thing: the permissibility of saying "O my master," and the second thing: he said to them:Sunan Abi Dawud 4806Sahih (Al-Albani); so this is clear evidence of the permissibility of calling the Messenger—peace be upon him—a master, but there is another benefit; which is the indication of the reason for the Messenger's—peace be upon him—response in the previous hadith to the one who said: You are our master; he said: ; so this other hadith indicates why he rebuked them there? Fear that Satan might lead them astray. So if a person says to the Messenger—peace be upon him: O my master, and does not intend by this statement exaggeration in his status; then there is absolutely nothing wrong with it; because the Messenger is truly the master of all people on the Day of Resurrection.
