When the Christians of Najrān claimed that Jesus had commanded them to take him as a Divinity, and some Muslims asked that they should be permitted to prostrate themselves before him, the Prophet "sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam" , the following was revealed: It belongs not to any mortal that Allahu ta’ālā should give him the Book, the Judgement, the understanding of the Divine Law, prophethood, then that he should say to men, 'Be servants to me instead of Allahu ta’ālā.' Rather, he should say, 'Be masters, scholars, labouring (rabbāniyyūn, 'those of the Rabb', is derived from rabb, 'Rabb', with the extra alif and nūn, as a superlative [of rabbiyyūn]), by virtue of what you know (ta'lamūn, also read as tu'allimūn, 'you teach') of the Book and in what you study', that is, on account of the fact that you used to do this, for its benefit is that you engage in action.
