[5877] 15 - (...) It was narrated that Hammâm bin Munabbih said: This is what Abû Hurairah narrated to us from the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, - and he mentioned a number of Ahādîth, including the following: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'None of you should say (to his slave): "Give water to your Rabb (lord), give food to your Rabb, help your Rabb with Wudû.'" And he said: 'None of you should say Rabbî (my lord), rather he should say Sayyidî or Mawlâya (my master). And none of you should say my Abd or my Amah; let him say my Fatâya or Fatâtî, or Ghulâmî.”

Arabic text

15 - (2249) وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، قَالَ: هَذَا مَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَذَكَرَ أَحَادِيثَ مِنْهَا وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يَقُلْ أَحَدُكُمُ اسْقِ رَبَّكَ، أَطْعِمْ رَبَّكَ، وَضِّئْ رَبَّكَ، وَلَا يَقُلْ أَحَدُكُمْ رَبِّي، وَلْيَقُلْ سَيِّدِي مَوْلَايَ، وَلَا يَقُلْ أَحَدُكُمْ عَبْدِي أَمَتِي، وَلْيَقُلْ فَتَايَ فَتَاتِي غُلَامِي»
