The Most Honorable Name is Abdullah and His Messenger

Question
Some of the marginal scholars mention this line when explaining 'Abdullah and His Messenger': Do not call me except with 'O My Servant', for it is the most honorable of My names. What does this line mean?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: He says, when you call me, do not call me except by saying, 'O servant of so-and-so,' for it is the noblest of my names. The noblest description of a servant or the noblest description of a human being is to be a servant of God, and God knows best.
