The student: The author’s statement, “the master Ibrahim”...
The Shaykh : In reality, it has no basis. I intended to comment on it, but I forgot. In fact, calling him “the master” is questionable. If he had said “Ibrahim,” or “the Intimate Friend of Allah,” or “the Messenger,” that would be different. But “the master” in this context has not been reported, and there is no doubt that Ibrahim (peace be upon him) is a master among the masters of creation. However, describing him with this title when mentioning him, while leaving out his description as a Messenger or a servant, or something similar, is questionable.
