4975. It was narrated from Muḥammad, from Abū Hurairah, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "No one of you should say 'Abdī or Ammatī' (my male slave, my female slave), and the slave should not say Rabbī or Rabbātī (my lord, my lady). Let the owner say Fatāya and Fatātī (my young man, my young woman) and let the slave say Sayyidī and Sayyidatī (my master, my mistress), for you are all slaves and the Lord (Ar-Rabb) is Allāh, may He be exalted." (Saḥīḥ)
4975 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، وَحَبِيبِ بْنِ الشَّهِيدِ، وَهِشَامٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ عَبْدِي وَأَمَتِي، وَلَا يَقُولَنَّ الْمَمْلُوكُ رَبِّي وَرَبَّتِي، وَلْيَقُلِ الْمَالِكُ فَتَايَ وَفَتَاتِي، وَلْيَقُلِ الْمَمْلُوكُ سَيِّدِي وَسَيِّدَتِي، فَإِنَّكُمُ الْمَمْلُوكُونَ وَالرَّبُّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ»
