35. Undue Elevation of the Prophet (sws)


عُمَرَ رضي الله عنه يقول …سمعت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول لَا تُطْرُونِي كما أَطْرَتْ النَّصَارَى بن مَرْيَمَ فَإِنَّمَا أنا عَبْدُهُ فَقُولُوا عبد اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ
‘Umar (rta) reports: “I heard the Prophet (sws) say: ‘Do not elevate me from my status the way the Christians elevated Jesus (sws) [far] above his status. I am only God’s servant. So, call me a servant of God and His Messenger.’”[1]
