"يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ! عَلَيْكُم بِقَوْلِكُمْ، وَلا يَسْتَهْوِينكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ، أَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَبْدُ اللهِ وَرَسُولُهُ، وَالله مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَرْفَعُونِى فَوْقَ مَنْزِلَتى الَّتي أنزَلَنى اللهُ".
The Prophet ﷺ did not like when people exaggerated his station more than how Allah has elevated him
a man said to the Prophet ﷺ: O our leader and son of our leader, or O best of us and the son of the best of us. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "O People, say what you usually say and not let Satan take over you: I am Muḥammad b. ʿAbdullāh and the Messenger of Allah. I do not like that you elevate me to a level higher than to what Allah has elevated me."
أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ: يَا سَيِّدَنَا وَابْنَ سَيِّدِنَا! وَيَا خَيْرَنَا وَابْنَ خَيْرِنَا! فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قُولُوا بِقَوْلِكُمْ وَلَا يَسْتَهْوِيَنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ۔ أَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، وَرَسُولُ اللهِ، وَاللهِ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَرْفَعُونِي فَوْقَ مَا رَفَعَنِي اللهُ۔»
[Machine] "O Muhammad, O our best, O son of our best, O our master, O son of our master, so he said, say with your words and do not let Satan or his devils deceive you with either of the two words: I am Muhammad, the servant of Allah and His Messenger. I do not like you to raise me above the status to which Allah has raised me."
يَا مُحَمَّدُ يَا خَيْرَنَا وَابْنَ خَيْرِنَا وَيَا سَيِّدَنَا وَابْنَ سَيِّدِنَا فَقَالَ قُولُوا بِقَوْلِكُمْ وَلَا يَسْتَجْرِكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَوِ الشَّيَاطِينُ إِحْدَى الْكَلِمَتَيْنِ أَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ عَبْدُ اللهِوَرَسُولُهُ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَرْفَعُونِي فَوْقَ مَنْزِلَتِي الَّتِي أَنْزَلَنِي اللهُ
[Machine] "O Muhammad, O our master and the son of our master and the best of us, and the son of the best of us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O people, upon you is to have Taqwa (piety) so that Satan does not deceive you. I am Muhammad ibn Abdullah, the servant of Allah and His Messenger. By Allah, I do not like to be elevated above the position that Allah has bestowed upon me."
يَا مُحَمَّدُ يَا سَيِّدَنَا وَابْنَ سَيِّدِنَا وَخَيْرَنَا وَابْنَ خَيْرِنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِتَقْوَاكُمْ لَا يَسْتَهْوِيَنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَرَسُولُهُ وَاللهِ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَرْفَعُونِي فَوْقَ مَنْزِلَتِي الَّتِي أَنْزَلَنِي اللهُ

يَا مُحَمَّدُ يَا سَيِّدَنَا وَابْنَ سَيِّدِنَا وَخَيْرَنَا وَابْنَ خَيْرِنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قُولُوا بِقَوْلِكُمْ وَلَا تَسْتَجْرِيَنَّكُمُ الشَّيَاطِينُ أَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ وَرَسُولُهُ وَمَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَرْفَعُونِي فَوْقَ مَنْزِلَتِي الَّتِي أَنْزَلَنِيهَا اللهُ»

أَنَّ نَاسًا قَالُوا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَا خَيْرَنَا وَابْنَ خَيْرِنَا وَيَا سَيِّدَنَا وَابْنَ سَيِّدِنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِقَوْلِكُمْ وَلَا يَسْتَهْوِيَنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ إِنِّي لَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ تَرْفَعُونِي فَوْقَ مَنْزِلَتِي الَّتِي أَنْزَلَنِيهَا اللهُ تَعَالَى أَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ»
