Hadith 9959

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ خَبُثَتْ نَفْسِي وَلَكِنْ لِيَقُلْ لَقِسَتْ
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No person should say, "Khabuthat nafsi" (my soul has become impure), but to express this meaning, he should say, "Laqisat nafsi" (my soul has become uncomfortable).

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The literal meanings of both "khabuthat" and "laqisat" are the same. Apparently, it is not appropriate for a person to use the word "khabuthat" for himself, and it is a matter of etiquette to use good words.
The meanings of both these words are: to feel nauseous, to feel heaviness in the body, to feel lethargic, to be bad or spoiled.
From this hadith, it is understood that a servant should use refined words, so that the objective is fulfilled and etiquette is also maintained.
