The Ruling on Attributing Statements to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)

Question:
One of the foreign players came to this country, and one of the callers to Allah said, "If the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) had met him, he would have smiled at him and treated him with good hospitality." Is this the methodology for meeting this player?

Answer:
Answer: This is attributing a statement to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). What makes this speaker know that if the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) had met him, he would have smiled at him? This is attributing a statement to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). If the player is a Muslim, he should smile at him, greet him with the salam, advise him to leave playing, and focus on what is serious and beneficial. As for if he is not a Muslim, he should not smile at him, but he should not be equal to him as long as he is among the Muslims; he should not be equal to him until he goes to his country. Yes. And if it is in the context of calling to Allah and calling him to Islam? Answer: He is not saying that he is called to Islam; he smiles at him because he is an athlete and because he is a champion among the champions of sports, and the like of that. Yes. As for calling to Islam, yes, he is called to Islam; everyone is called to Islam. Yes.
