Such as rubbing oneself against him, kissing his hands, bowing to him, and the likes of it. The one who does this, in reality is associated or wants to be associated with Allah in the glorification and reverence that should be (dedicated) to Allah the Exalted.
So, he must fear Allah the Exalted and warn those who do this to him; (he) warns them not to do such actions to him. And (he must) know his place and know the Majesty of his Lord, The Exalted
