عن ابي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم لا يقل احدكم اسق ربك اطعم ربك وضئ ربك ولا يقل احدكم ربي وليقل سيدي ومولاي ولا يقل احدكم عبدي وامتي وليقل فتاتي وغلامي
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: None of you should say to a slave: Give water to your lord, give food to your lord, make ablution for your lord. And no slave should say: My lord, rather he should say: My master and my patron. Similarly, no owner should say: My slave (male), my slave (female), rather he should say: My young man, my servant.

عنه من طريق ثان عن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم قال لا يقولن احدكم عبدي وامتي كلكم عبيد الله وكل نسائكم إماء الله ولكن ليقل غلامي وجاريتي وفتاي وفتاتي
(Second chain) The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No master should say: "My slave (male) and my slave (female)," because you are all servants of Allah Almighty and all your women are bondwomen of Allah Almighty. The master should say: "My servant, my maid, my young man, my young woman."

عن ابي امامة رضي الله عنه ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم اقبل من خيبر ومعه غلامان وهب احدهما لعلي بن ابي طالب رضي الله عنه وقال لا تضربه فإني قد نهيت عن ضرب اهل الصلاة وقد رايته يصلي قال عفان في حديثه اخبرنا ابو طالب عن ابي امامة ان النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم اقبل من خيبر ومعه غلامان فقال علي يا رسول الله اخدمنا قال خذ ايهما شئت قال خر لي قال خذ هذا ولا تضربه فإني قد رايته يصلي مقبلنا من خيبر وإني قد نهيت واعطى ابا ذر رضي الله عنه غلاما وقال استوص به معروفا فاعتقه فقال له النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ما فعل الغلام قال يا رسول الله امرتني ان استوصي به معروفا فاعتقته
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) returned from Khaybar, there were two slaves with him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave one slave to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: Do not beat him, for I have been forbidden from beating those who pray, and I have seen him performing prayer. The words of the narrator ‘Affan are as follows: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned from Khaybar and there were two slaves with him. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! Please give us a servant as well. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Take whichever of them you wish. But Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You choose for me. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Take this one, for I saw him performing prayer upon returning from Khaybar, and I have been forbidden from beating those who pray. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the other slave to Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: Accept a good will regarding him. He set him free. Then when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him what became of the slave, he said: O Messenger of Allah! You commanded me to accept a good will regarding him, so for that reason I set him free.
