Allah is the greatest

[Och]

A foreign delegate came to visit him. They wanted to start talking by paying a compliment and said,

“You are the greatest person.” The Prophet answered,

“Allah is the greatest.” Thereupon, they said,

“Then, you are the most superior and the strongest among us.” He did not like that sentence, either. He said,

“Do not go too far. Do not let Satan make you go astray by making you say the things that you do not believe.”
