Is it true that some narrations say that kissing a person's hands, feet or forehead is not permitted and that it is only for the Prophet or Imams? If so, why do we see our scholars permitting it?

Bismillah,
Asalamu Alaykom,
We have narrations like this however some scholars do ta'wil of these narrations and state that if kissing someone's hand such as a righteous scholar, is done with the intention of glorifying Ahlul Bayt (as), then it is permitted. This is because many respect the righteous scholars due to them being those who spread Ahlul Bayt's (as) teachings, and there narrations from the imams (as) themselves emphasising on respecting the righteous ulema as well as keeping away from the evil ones.
May Allah grant you success
