The Shaykh : He said, a word of etiquette, and it is an acknowledgment on his part that he is a prince who has authority, and an acknowledgment that he holds a position that must be respected and honored.
This is the guidance of the righteous Salaf: whoever takes on authority is owed obedience and listening, and he has authority, even if he is an open sinner. His sinfulness is upon himself. But we are commanded to obey and listen.
He said, "Allow me," which is etiquette. "O Prince" is an acknowledgment of his authority, even though he is an open sinner who sends people to fight in Makkah..

Hearing is mentioned in the Qur'an: [Al-Isra 17:36] Abu Shurayh (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned it: "I heard it with my ears," how he spoke it, "and my heart comprehended it," I memorized it completely. The third is "my eyes saw it when he spoke it," meaning he did not speak from behind a veil. He said, may Allah's prayers and blessings be upon him: And he, may Allah's prayers and blessings be upon him, denied that the people had made it sacred for two reasons:
The first reason: because what Allah has made sacred is greater than what the people have made sacred.
The second reason: so that no one says, "So-and-so made it sacred and so-and-so made it permissible," and that the matter is a matter of independent legal reasoning. No, it is not a matter of independent legal reasoning. Allah the Mighty and Majestic has made it sacred, and the people have not made it sacred, so it is forbidden by the sanctity of Allah until the Day of Resurrection.
