What is the ruling on adding the phrase "our master" to the name of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and is it fitting for the speaker to say:
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: All right, regarding the fact that all of Allah's (Glorified and Exalted is He) words to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Qur'an are: , , and so on, meaning, so we, as human beings, say "O Allah, send blessings upon our master Muhammad." The word "our master" that they added, what does that mean?
The Shaykh: First, before I answer your question, I want to draw your attention to a common error: When you say "we, as human beings," do you mean that you are not a human being?
The questioner: No, the words of Allah are revelation.
The Shaykh: Listen, listen, may Allah guide you. We are not talking about the words of Allah anymore; we are talking about your statement. "We, as human beings" means you are not a human being?
The questioner: Hehe, there is no god but Allah.
The Shaykh: Did you understand me or not?
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh: The issue is more subtle than that. One person says "I, as a Muslim," meaning you are not a Muslim?! People.
The questioner: No, "Muslim" means human being.
The Shaykh: Understand me!
The questioner: Hehe, this is language, this is Arabic language.
The Shaykh: Ah, people say when speaking about themselves, "I, as a Muslim, must do such and such" or "I did such and such." This implies that he is not a Muslim, because in Arabic, "Zayd is a lion" or "Zayd is like a lion" does not mean that he is a lion; he is a human being, but he is compared to the lion in a quality! In bravery and strength, and so on. So this is called the letter of comparison; the one being compared is not the one being compared to. So when you say about yourself "as a human being," it is not fitting! Did you understand me now?
The questioner: Yes, may Allah bless you.
The Shaykh: Ah, and this is a linguistic error that does not come from you, but from doctors, from preachers and orators. And so I wanted to remind you. Now, instead of saying "I, as a person, as a human being, as a Muslim," I say: "In my capacity as a Muslim, in my capacity as a Muslim."
The questioner: Confirmation.
The Shaykh: Confirmation. "In my capacity as a human being, in my capacity as a person, not an animal," ah, I do such and such, I say such and such, and so on. Now, after correcting this word, what is your question? I, yes, we, yes, in our capacity as human beings.
The questioner: We send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh: Do we say "our master"?
The questioner: Meaning, out of respect and appreciation, out of the context of respect and appreciation?
The Shaykh: Yes, may Allah bless you. What do they call you?
The questioner: Abu Fahmi.
The Shaykh: Abu Fahmi?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The questioner : May Allah give you life.
The Shaykh: I will return to it.
The questioner: Is the phrase "may Allah keep you safe" correct or not?
The Shaykh: It has not reached its place yet, hehehehe.
The questioner: First, that question, then you move to a second one, one by one.
The Shaykh: Yes.
