(عَدَمُ قَوْلِ خُبْثٍ أَوْ نَفْسِي)
(Do not say "khubth" or "nafsi")
Hadith 4765
وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ: خَبُثَتْ نَفْسِي وَلَكِنْ لِيَقُلْ: لَقِسَتْ نَفْسِي . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ وَذُكِرَ حديثُ أبي هريرةَ: «يُؤذيني ابنُ آدمَ» فِي «بَاب الْإِيمَان»
Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "None of you should say: My soul (self) has become impure, rather he should say: My soul has become heavy." Agreed upon. And the hadith narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him): "The son of Adam hurts Me." has already been mentioned in the chapter of faith.
