Ghassan ibn al-Rabi‘ narrated to us, he said: Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, from Ayyub, from Ibn Sirin, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "None of you should say: 'My slave (male) and my slave-girl (female),' and the slave should not say: 'My lord and my lady.' Let the owner say: 'My boy and my girl,' and let the slave say: 'My master and my mistress,' for they are only owned, and the Lord is Allah, Mighty and Majestic."
