Commentary
Using a dual form of the personal pronoun removes the difference between the two. For this reason the Prophet ﷺ disliked that. In his case, he can say: “they” because his saying: “they” or, “them” about himself and Allāh is not the same as someone else saying that, so such statements that are narrated from him are specific to him ﷺ.
