2552. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, "You should not say, 'Feed your lord (Rabbaka), help your lord in performing ablution, or give water to your lord' but should say, 'My master (e.g. feed your master instead of lord) (Saiyidī)', or 'My guardian (Maulātī)', and one should not say, 'My slave (Abdī)', or 'My girl-slave (Amātī)', but should say, 'My lad (Fatātī)', 'My lass (Fatātī)', and 'My boy (Ghulāmī).'"
2552 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " لاَ يَقُلْ أَحَدُكُمْ: أَطْعِمْ رَبَّكَ وَضِّئْ رَبَّكَ، اسْقِ رَبَّكَ، وَلْيَقُلْ: سَيِّدِي مَوْلاَيَ، وَلاَ يَقُلْ أَحَدُكُمْ: عَبْدِي أَمَتِي، وَلْيَقُلْ: فَتَايَ وَفَتَاتِي وَغُلاَمِي "
