Prohibition of Conferring a Title of Honor upon a Sinner, a Hypocrite, and the Like
- عن بريدة رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: "لا تقولوا للمنافق سيد، فإنه إن يكن سيدًا، فقد أسخطتم ربكم عز وجل". ((رواه أبو داود بإسناد صحيح))
Translation
Buraidah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Do not address a hypocrite with the title of chief, (or similar titles of respect) for even if he deserves this title you will invite Allah's Wrath by using it for him." [Abu Dawud].
