[Machine] Ali, O people of Iraq, love us with the love of Islam. I heard my father say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O people, do not elevate me above my rank, for Allah has made me a servant before making me a Prophet." So I mentioned it to Sa'id ibn Al-Musayyib, and he said, "And after he was made a Prophet."
عَلِيٌّ يَا أَهْلَ الْعِرَاقِ أَحِبُّونَا حُبَّ الْإِسْلَامِ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ لَا تَرْفَعُونِي فَوْقَ قِدْرِي فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ اتَّخَذَنِي عَبْدًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَنِي نَبِيًّا» فَذَكَرْتُهُ لِسَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ فَقَالَ «وَبَعْدَ مَا اتَّخَذَهُ نَبِيًّا»
