Majma al-Zawaid 13266 — One should not say: My soul has become evil

عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ خَبُثَتْ نَفْسِي ، وَلَكِنْ لَقِسَتْ " .
قُلْتُ : اللَّقْسُ : الْغَثَيَانُ ، قَالَهُ صَاحِبُ النِّهَايَةِ . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ وَإِسْنَادُهُ حَسَنٌ .
Sayyiduna Jubayr bin Mut'im (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "None of you should ever say: 'My soul has become wicked (khabuthat)'; rather, let him say: 'It has become sluggish (laqisat).'"
(Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Laqs means ghathayan (that is, being uneasy); this was stated by the author of the book al-Nihayah.
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its chain is hasan (good).
