بَابُ هَلْ يَقُولُ: سَيِّدِي؟
Chapter: Should One Say: "My Master"?
Hadith 210
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، وَحَبِيبٍ، وَهِشَامٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ”لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ: عَبْدِي وَأَمَتِي، وَلاَ يَقُولَنَّ الْمَمْلُوكُ: رَبِّي وَرَبَّتِي، وَلْيَقُلْ: فَتَايَ وَفَتَاتِي، وَسَيِّدِي وَسَيِّدَتِي، كُلُّكُمْ مَمْلُوكُونَ، وَالرَّبُّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.“
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "None of you should ever say: 'My slave (male) and my slave-girl (female),' and a slave should never say: 'My lord and my lady.' The owner should call the slave and slave-girl 'my young man' and 'my young woman,' and the slave should call the owner 'my master.' All of you are slaves of Allah, and the Lord is Allah, the Mighty and Majestic."
Hadith 211
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ قَالَ: قَالَ أَبِي: انْطَلَقْتُ فِي وَفْدِ بَنِي عَامِرٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالُوا: أَنْتَ سَيِّدُنَا، قَالَ: ”السَّيِّدُ اللَّهُ“، قَالُوا: وَأَفْضَلُنَا فَضْلاً، وَأَعْظَمُنَا طَوْلاً، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: ”قُولُوا بِقَوْلِكُمْ، وَلاَ يَسْتَجْرِيَنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ.“
Mutarrif narrates from his father (Abdullah bin Shukhayr) that he said: I went with a delegation of Banu Amir to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ), and they said to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): "You are our master." The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The Master is Allah." They said: "You are more virtuous and honorable than us." The narrator says that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Say what you have to say, and do not let Satan make you his agent."
