In the name of Allah, be informed that being a master does not mean absolute preference. Rather, the holy saying means what we call about one of the Hashemite people or sons of Al-Zahraa (PBUH) which is (Syed). If one is Syed, it means that he is one who deserves respect from everybody. So, it is mentioned in the supplication of Al-Iftitah (Peace be upon the grandsons of mercy and imams of guidance, the masters of the youth of all paradise people) which should be interpreted in the same way as Syed. Then, be informed that the word master has been used in the way in which it is used in the books concerned with interpreting speeches. The meanings are: (lord- the owner- the decent- the righteous- the generous- the all-forbearing- the one who endures the harm of his tribe- the husband- the boss- the person ahead. The word master should be interpreted in the saying as (the decent- the generous- the righteous), but not to be interpreted as master which is in preference of other people in paradise. At the end of the speech, it is mentioned (and their father is better than them). If Ali (PBUH) is better than them, then the prophet (PBUH&HF) is better than them as well as he (PBUH) is better than Ali (PBUH).
