Sunan Abi Dawud 4977 (Book 43, Hadith 205) #25268
The Hypocrisy of Calling Someone Master

SUMMARY: Do not call a hypocrite master, as it displeases God.

Narrated Buraydah ibn al-Hasib: The Prophet said: Do not call a hypocrite sayyid (master), for if he is a sayyid, you will displease your Lord, Most High.
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَقُولُوا لِلْمُنَافِقِ سَيِّدٌ فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ يَكُ سَيِّدًا فَقَدْ أَسْخَطْتُمْ رَبَّكُمْ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ

QUICK LESSONS:
Give respect to those who have earned it .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about respecting people and not calling someone a master or lord if they are a hypocrite. The Prophet Muhammad said that if you call someone who is a hypocrite sayyid, then you will displease your Lord, Most High. This means that God does not like it when we give respect to people who do not deserve it or act in an insincere way. It is important to remember that we should only give respect to those who have earned it and be careful with our words so as not to offend anyone or displease God.
