To what extent is it correct or permissible to use the phrase: "The rose was a thorn, it bloomed from the sweat of the Prophet" on occasions such as weddings?
The phrase "Roses were thorns that blossomed from the Prophet's sweat" is a praise intended to signify that the Prophet's, peace and blessings be upon him, sweat was fragrant. It is established that the Prophet's, peace and blessings be upon him, sweat had a pleasant scent. However, praising him with this phrase is impermissible due to its exaggeration and contradiction of reality; roses did not blossom from the Prophet's, peace and blessings be upon him, sweat. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade excessive praise of him, meaning exceeding the bounds in praising him or lying about him. Some who composed this praise may have taken it from a fabricated that states white roses were created from the Prophet's, peace and blessings be upon him, sweat, and this hadith is forged.
