Concise answer

Studying the titles of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) is one of the important issues which is a manifestation of his moral salient characteristics and attributes. These titles have been adapted from narrations and they were created during the time of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) and the infallible Imams (a.s). The traditions in which these titles have been mentioned were:

1. I am the master of men [1]

«أَنَا سَیِّدُ النَّاسِ ...»

2. I am the master of humans [2]

«أَنَا سَیِّدُ الْبَشَر»

3. I am the master of Prophets [3]

«أَنَا سَیِّدُ الْأَنْبِیَاء»

Imam Sajjad (a.s) has sent greeting to the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) in a Dua as under:
“Allahumma Salli `Ala Muhammadin Khatam ul-Nabiyeen Wa Syed al-Mursaleen”

«اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ خَاتَمِ النَّبِیِّینَ وَ سَیِّدِ الْمُرْسَلِین»[4]
