Al-Adab Al-Mufrad #209
Being a master
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: لاَ يَقُلْ أَحَدُكُمْ: عَبْدِي، أَمَتِي، كُلُّكُمْ عَبِيدُ اللهِ، وَكُلُّ نِسَائِكُمْ إِمَاءُ اللهِ، وَلْيَقُلْ: غُلاَمِي، جَارِيَتِي، وَفَتَايَ، وَفَتَاتِي.
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "None of you should say, 'My slave ('abdi)'
or 'my slavegirl (amati)' All of you are slaves of Allah and all
of your women are slaves of Allah. Rather you should say, 'My boy (ghulami)',
my slavegirl (jariyyati)', 'my lad (fatayi)' or 'my girl
(fatati).'"
