بَابُ هَلْ يَقُولُ: سَيِّدِي؟Chapter: Should One Say: "My Master"?
Hadith 211
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ قَالَ: قَالَ أَبِي: انْطَلَقْتُ فِي وَفْدِ بَنِي عَامِرٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالُوا: أَنْتَ سَيِّدُنَا، قَالَ: ”السَّيِّدُ اللَّهُ“، قَالُوا: وَأَفْضَلُنَا فَضْلاً، وَأَعْظَمُنَا طَوْلاً، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: ”قُولُوا بِقَوْلِكُمْ، وَلاَ يَسْتَجْرِيَنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ.“
Mutarrif narrates from his father (Abdullah bin Shukhayr) that he said: I went with a delegation of Banu Amir to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ), and they said to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): "You are our master." The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The Master is Allah." They said: "You are more virtuous and honorable than us." The narrator says that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Say what you have to say, and do not let Satan make you his agent."
