4978. It was narrated from Abū Umāmah bin Sahl bin Ḥunaif, from his father that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "No one of you should say Khabuthat nafsi. Let him say Laqisat nafsi."[1] (Sahih)

Arabic text

4978 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ خَبُثَتْ نَفْسِي، وَلْيَقُلْ لَقِسَتْ نَفْسِي»

    [1] Both phrases have the same meaning, which is feeling nauseous, but the phrase Khabuthat nafsi may also mean "I have become wicked" whereas the phrase Laqisat nafsi has no such connotation.
