Al-Adab Al-Mufrad #210
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 حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، وَحَبِيبٍ، وَهِشَامٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: لاَ يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ: عَبْدِي وَأَمَتِي، وَلاَ يَقُولَنَّ الْمَمْلُوكُ: رَبِّي وَرَبَّتِي، وَلْيَقُلْ: فَتَايَ وَفَتَاتِي، وَسَيِّدِي وَسَيِّدَتِي، كُلُّكُمْ مَمْلُوكُونَ، وَالرَّبُّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "None of you should say 'my slave ('abdi
or
amati)' and a slave should not say, 'my lord (rabbi or
rabbati)'.
They should say, 'my boy' or 'my girl' (fatayi and
fatati)
and 'my master' or 'mistress' (sayyidi and
sayyidati)'. All
of you are slaves, and the Lord is Allah, Almighty and Exalted."
