حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ : جَاشَتْ نَفْسِي وَلَكِنْ لِيَقُلْ : لَقِسَتْ نَفْسِي " .
Aishah reported the Prophet ﷺ as saying: None of you should say Ja’shat nafsi (My heart is being agitated), but one should say Laqisat nafsi (My heart is being annoyed).

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Islam, along with purifying the beliefs and actions of its followers, has also refined the style and expressions of their language and idioms.
The Divine command is: (Evil is the name of wickedness after faith) (: al-Hujurat: 11). After embracing faith, the name of wickedness is very evil.

Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim bin Basheer
Benefit:
It is understood that a person should choose such words for himself that are not contrary to his dignity. The apparent meaning of the word "khabīth" (impure) and the word "nafs" (self) is the same, but the word "khabīth" and its apparent meaning were against human dignity; therefore, the use of this word for oneself was prohibited. (Fath al-Bari: 10/692)
