English translation

[5875] 14 - (...) It was narrated that Abû Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'None of you should say my Abd (slave), for all of you are slaves of Allâh. Rather let him say: my Fatâya (young man). And no slave should say Rabbî (my lord), rather let him say Sayyidî (my master).'"

Arabic text

14 - (2249) وحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ: عَبْدِي، فَكُلُّكُمْ عَبِيدُ اللهِ، وَلَكِنْ لِيَقُلْ: فَتَايَ، وَلَا يَقُلِ الْعَبْدُ: رَبِّي، وَلَكِنْ لِيَقُلْ: سَيِّدِي "
