321 - Chapter on the prohibition of addressing a defiantly disobedient person or a religious innovator using the word “master” or the like

1725/1 - Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Do not address a hypocrite with the title ‘master’, for even if he deserves this title, you will displease your Almighty Lord.” [Narrated by Abu Dāwūd with an authentic Isnād]

Words in the Hadīth:

A master: someone with a greater position and status than anyone else among his people.

--

Guidance from the Hadīth:

1) It is prohibited to revere the hypocrites or describe them with words of respect and recognition, for they are the enemies and foes of Allah Almighty.

2) It is obligatory to avoid anything that displeases our Lord and to pursue those things that earn His pleasure and bring us closer to Him.
